We All Fall Down
Written by Robert Cormier
Published by Laural-Leaf Books in 1993
208 pages.
Genre: Suspense, Family.
Summery: Four teenage boys trash the Jerome's home one night. 14 yr old Karen comes home while they are there. She is assaulted and beaten in to a coma. The story is told from several characters, including Karen's sister Jane, one of the trashers, and a psychopath/schiztophrenic murderer who thinks he's 11.
Response: Wow, this book is freaky weird. It was a little hard to get into, but then I got sucked in and sort of enjoyed it, I guess. It's really intense.
Word of Caution: Graphic description of the trashing and beating, teenage drinking, language.
