Ilustration As Books Full Tilt
Sixteen-year-old Blake and his younger brother, Quinn, are exact opposites. Blake is the responsible member of the family. He constantly has to keep an eye on the fearless Quinn, whose thrill-seeking sometimes goes too far. But the stakes get higher when Blake has to chase Quinn into a bizarre phantom carnival that traps its customers forever.In order to escape, Blake must survive seven deadly rides by dawn, each of which represents a deep, personal fear -- from a carousel of stampeding animals to a hall of mirrors that changes people into their deformed reflections. Blake ultimately has to face up to a horrible secret from his own past to save himself and his brother -- that is, if the carnival doesn't claim their souls first!

YAAAAAAY! CARNIVALS ARE FUN!Except when they're trying to steal your soul.Neal, Neal, Neal. How I love you. Yes, in the creepiest way possible. As in, I want to stalk you to get your autograph.Seriously, though. This is the ... 9th book by Shusterman that I've read, I believe. None of his books have disappointed me. They're all amazing. If you haven't read any of his books, I suggest you read Unwind, Bruiser, and the Skinjacker Trilogy (Everlost, Everwild, and Everfound) above all. But evenI had some doubts about this book. How wrong I was. This book changed my life. That's all there is to it. I'll never forget it. Ever. The end.
I think a legitimate argument can be made that Full Tilt is the point where Neal Shusterman really began "putting it all together" as an author, melding the fascinating metaphysical nature of some of his earlier material (The Eyes of Kid Midas, for example) with the powerful emotional impact of his first novel, The Shadow Club, to create a ride like nothing else before in the history of young-adult literature. Once Neal Shusterman really found his groove, he became awesome on a whole new level,
4 / 5a bit shorter than my usual read, but it managed to find a really great fast pace and stay really entertaining. bumped up a star bc i'm always a slut for creepy carnivals :)full review for this and all the other books i've got waiting for reviews to come next month (hopefully irl stuff will be less hectic then)
What happens when you are suddenly pulled away from the real world, and plunged into a carnival where your soul can be claimed? Blake needs to decide between his own safety, or his brother's. Every decision counts, as the carnival awaits for his defeat.Most YA horror are formulaic, and this novel proved no different. A guy has to save someone in a world full of his fears. I honestly didn't care about his fears and the not-so-scary carnival rides, but the characters, or at least some of them,
I finally finished this. After one month I menaged to finish 200 pages of pure nothing. I didn't have any expectations but it was a pointless read.First of all: this book should have at least 400 pages. Not 200. It doesn't make any sense since the plot is all condensed and the pace was weird and there was no time for character development or anything like that. Second thing: this wasn't scary. The rides weren't scary. Nothing was scary or creepy or whatever. I just felt awkard through the entire
I finished this book a couple of hours ago and started reading it a couple hours ago... Let's just say I really thought this was really great!! I loved the idea and it reminded me of so many good ideas and it is a lot like Shustermans other books. Fans of ever lost will like this book a lot. I really loved how this was about a shy boy who has to face his fears in crazy unimaginable amusement park rides. This was really different and cool and was a quick good read for anyone looking for something
