Restart

Pretty good. I initially read it because at a writer's camp, a girl recommended it to me. I asked her why she liked it so much and she just shrugged and said, I don't know, I just do. But now, I understand. I read it, and I like it. Why? Honestly, no particular reason. It is just well-made.

The book holds a themes of redemption and identity as Chase Ambrose struggles to find his place in school after falling off a roof and getting amnesia. He then figures out that he used to be a horrible bully and spends the rest of the book making amends with the people he used to torment.

One interesting thing about this book is the wide range of narrators. As many as 7 characters take turns narrating, but it is always in 1st person. Similar to Tui T. Sutherland's Darkstalker, each chapter declares the P.O.V. before it starts. So, that was unique and fresh.

Overall, I enjoyed it.

Moral: It's never too late to turn your life around.
