Number 6 Fumbles

1. You enjoyed Catcher in the Rye (please, PLEASE tell me you've read it, it's incredible) I read them pretty much in succession accidentally, but both of the characters are similiar in ways. The author uses the same stream of conscience technique, or whatever it's called. 2. You're not looking for a "light, fluffy" read. It's not dark and scary, but certainly not light or fluffy. 3. You want to read an excellent book. 4. Aged 15-21, give or take a couple years.

I have never read a book that I have identified with more. Beck feels the same emotions I feel, while doing in a setting I know well. The author does an amazing job of getting into Beck's head and letting the reader know exactly what she is thinking. Her friends all add depth to the central theme and I enjoy how she handles herself in all of her situations. One of the best books I have ever read, I wish the author would continue other books with the same main character- I would be interested in finding out how the remainder of Beck's college career finishes. I recommend this book to anyone who has ever doubted themselves or continues to find bits of themselves in unexpected places.

i haven't gotten this into reading a book since the perks of being a wallflower. honest.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. As a college student, I found it captured the feelings of someone my age extremely well and even led me to examine my own college experiences. Solar-Tuttle did an excellent job creating the main character, Beck- who was both dynamic and realistic. I have already passed this book along to many of my friends who have also enjoyed it. The characters and plot line ring true in this book and I would highly recommend it.

For anyone who is nostalgic about their college days, Number Six Fumbles is a great trip down memory lane. It will also be a real treat for current college students and those on the way. Fumbles' main character, Rebecca Lowe, is a sophomore at The University of Pennsylvania. She is fun. She is relaxed. And, during the few days the reader spends with her, she is a little scared of what her future might hold. As such, she is a heroine to whom many readers will be able to easily relate. While describing the uncertainty that many college students face, through very well-described scenes, this book brings rushing back memories of great friendships, fun parties, scrambles to get to class, and many other events unique to college. It is a truly fun and worthwhile read. With this strong debut, let's hope to hear more from author Solar-Tuttle.
