I believe that the important theme from the book Turnabout was some things just shouldn’t be changed. The reason I think this is Dr. Reed and Dr. Jimson tried to cure death by making something that would allow people to stay young, but instead they ended up causing the deaths of 48 out of 50 of the people tested with P-1. Also their cure, P-1, didn’t even work. It just made the tested people die a different way; they would age backwards until they got to the end, their births. P-1 was also a mistake because it caused the participants such heartache. Many of them committed suicide because they were secluded from their families and their memories were starting to disappear.

My Favorite Character From Turnabout

My favorite character from my book club book is Anny Beth. In this book she is characterized as someone who speaks her mind. On page 30, when Anny Beth is having an argument with Mrs. Swanson and Mrs. Swanson is talking smack about how Anny Beth was raised and how she raised her family, she told Mrs. Swanson off in front of a whole group of people. I also loved how Anny Beth could be joking one minute and then serious the next, like on page 40. At first she is joking around about how crazy the adoption parents on the website seem but then, she gets very sympathetic towards Melly when Melly gets disappointed about not being able to find a suitable guardian.

I love sooooooooooooooooooo many characters but one of my favorites was Patch from the book Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick. Right away he pulled me in. When he met Nora for the first time he was just so hysterically sarcastic that even though Nora got offended, I was cracking up in my seat. He was also really mysterious. When he wouldn’t help Nora with their project and Nora decided to make him help, she found him playing pool in a club. Even though as the book carried on he gradually got more serious (both in attitude and his feelings for Nora) he still possessed that irresistible demeanor. Once he and Nora started being together, he got so protective and caring that he sacrificed something he had been waiting forever for just to save her. I related to Patch because I also tend to be very sarcastic. I also have to know someone very well before I am able to trust them completely. Overall, I think Patch is an amazing character.
