The Fall Colleen Nelson 9781926531656 Books
The Fall by Colleen Nelson was a pretty powerful read for me. It shows the way a death can affect different people in different ways. Where in one character, it gave him the strength to finally stand up for himself, in another it caused a downward spiral from which it seems there is no turning back, and in another, it strengthened a bond that was lost a long time ago.Ben's love for skateboarding is something that he can turn to, to escape his hurt and pain caused by a non-existent father who disappoints him time and time again, and with hopes and aspirations of being sponsored and becoming a pro skater, there isn't much that will stop him from doing what he loves.
After a run in with school bullies Taz, Luke, and Cory, an act of "kindness" from Ben causes Luke to start befriending Luke. Unfortunately for Ben, hanging with Luke and his crew is not really his scene...drinking, drugs, and the trouble. But a fight with his best friend Tess is the deciding factor in Ben's decision in hanging out with them.
But in the blink of an eye, Ben's pretty quiet life is turned upside down after a tragic accident. But the accident doesn't only affect Ben. It affects the new group he's been hanging with, and some deal with it worse than others. Some end off veering down the wrong path, and into a darkness that sucks them deeper and deeper.
The Fall by fellow Winnipegger, Colleen Nelson, is a read that captured my attention and held it. Even though the book is a fairly quick read, the book ended pretty quick for me as I was completely engrossed in the story, and in the lives of the main character.
All of them have problems at home, which some readers will be able to connect with. Author, Colleen Nelson, does a fantastic job in showing the different lifestyles that these boys come from. The storyline in The Fall is one that cause many different emotions to come to surface. The way in which she shows just how awful fellow classmates can be is pretty shocking. How quickly their impressionable minds can be so quickly swayed was pretty shocking...and to be honest...very real.
I found my emotions running wild while reading The Fall. The way in which the author was able to spin my emotions sadness to happiness to fear in the blink of an eye was fantastic and left my head spinning. Her detailed descriptions of various events as they unfolded were done so well, that you can't help but feel like you're part of the story. I do wish that there was more in end. It ended pretty sudden, and left some questions unanswered for me. I know that there's enough information presented that the reader can come to their own conclusions, but I still found myself wondering what happens to these characters.
I personally feel like this is a book that readers everywhere should experience. To see the impact of death, and to witness the strengths that people didn't know they had until after tragedy strikes.
