Flipped

Flipped is a book that is told both from the perspective of Juli and Bryce, who have been next-door neighbours for 6 years now. Juli has been in love with Bryce since he first moved in. Bryce? Well, let's just say that he thought she was creepy and weird. Now in eighth grade, Bryce finaly starts to realise what an amazing person Juli really is. But is it too late for them? Because Juli starts seeing past those blue eyes and starts to realise what a jerk Bryce has been to her.

Sometimes I get a little annoyed with books that tell the same scene from different perspectives, because I feel like they are just repeating stuff over and over. I didn't feel that way for Flipped, because it was really interesting to see the same scene, but one misinterpreting what the other is doing. And it is really great to see Juli falling out of love the same time Bryce is falling in love. It keeps you on your toes, like "Juli! Don't listen to that! He really likes you!" and things like that.

This is a really great book that I definitely recommend.

Flipped is about both Juli and Bryce. Next neighbours for years and years. Juli fell in love with Bryce when they were just eight, but Bryce thought she was a little creep. But now in eighth grade, Bryce finally starts to realise how amazing Juli really is, but Juli starts to realise how Bryce is not so great.

Told in two pints of view, Juli and Bryce, this book allows us to see how this amazing book develops, as well as the characters. Both Juli and Bryce are so different, but so alike each other. And it is really funny to see Juli falling out of love, but Bryce falling in, and it makes you think "Oh no! What's gonna happen now?!" This is a great thing for a book to have, and if this book was only that, it would be perfect. But it is more than perfect, because it has those little extras, like the journeys that each character takes.

This is a really cute book, and the movie is brilliant as well. I recommend it to everyone, because who wouldn't love this great read. Its funny, sweet and just plain awesome.

You know how you never forget a book? Yeah, there's tons of them like that. Flipped is numero uno on the list of unforgettable books. I believe this is the book that made me fall in love with alternative POV's. Juli and Bryce are such great characters and I love getting inside their heads.
Such a cute book!
And the movie is pretty great too! :)

I loved this book! It had funny, sweet moments and it was throroughly entertaining. It had a lot of life lessons on first love and it takes you back to when you were young. I am seventeen and I loved this book. It is for all ages, and I think that Wendelin Van Draanen is one of the best authors that I have seen in a while. It is recommended for anyone that likes a sweet story about two young kids. :)

I absolutely love this book. It's soo cute because it talks about a seven year old boy and a seven year old girl that just moves into his neighborhood. She likes him alot but he just wants to get as far away from her as possible. Later on, he starts to realize that she might not be that bad and that he might actually like her BUT, she starts to realize that he might not be the one she was looking for after all! It's all FLIPPED!

I LOVEEE THIS BOOK. I DEFINETLY RECOMMEND IT FOR EVERYONE.

Really cute story! I ? this book! It really isnt all about Bryce and Juli, but it has those special twists that make you love this book even more. Flipped was kind of sad at some parts when Bryce and Juli discover some things about themselves and their families. This book really took me by surprise thinking it would be a little cute love story, but there's way more meaning to it than that.

This was the first book I ever read were I felt I could not put the book down no matter what.
There need to be more books like this for the children of today. It offers a different view at the world, great people, and many reasons to laugh. The lessons are subtle, while the situations are ones that so many people can relate to.
It is a sweet coming-of-romance-age story that will delight many for years to come!

I absolutley love this book, and have come to enjoy it more and more every time I re-read it! It's a must read. Just remember... looks are deciving and this book proves it!

It's about Bryce and Juliana, the entire book is told from their points of veiw. I've come to enjoy Bryce's descriptions more than Julianas (who has an emotional point of veiw) rather to Bryce's (funnyer point of veiw) A must read! Trust Me =)

I absolutely loved this book and thought it was one of the sweest books I have ever read. This book is really unique because it is told in alternate voices and points of view. I thought it was very well written also. In the beginning, Bryce is annoyed by Julie, but as time goes by, he finds out how much he loves her. I love the ending. This book is soooo good.
