Synopsis

Sixteen-year-old Blake has always been the responsible one in his dysfunctional family—the one who drives safely, gets good grades, and looks after his wild younger brother, Quinn. Quinn is his brother's opposite—a thrill-seeker who's always chasing the next scary rush, no matter what the cost. But Quinn and Blake are in for the surprise of their lives when they're thrust into the world of a bizarre phantom carnival—and their souls are the price of admission.

In order to save his brother, and himself, Blake must survive seven different carnival rides before dawn. Seven rides . . . it sounds easy. But each ride is full of unexpected dangers, because each ride is a reflection of one of Blake's deepest fears. And the last ride is the worst one of all. Because that's the one that confronts Blake with a terrifying secret from his past—a secret he's been running from for years.

Full of roller-coaster twists and turns, Neal Shusterman's latest novel is an Orpheus-like adventure into one boy's psyche.

Full Tilt was a strange book that centered on a brilliant teen's night of self-analyzation and self-discovery. I love this author, but this story—with its interesting synopsis—was just "meh".......more

"They say you never know who's the real hero and who's the real coward until you're looking death in the face. I've always been afraid of plenty of things, but fear isn't what makes you a coward. It's how depraved your heart becomes when fear gets pumped through it." As usual, Neal Shusterman nov......more

4.5 stars rounded up to 5! Amusement park horror is one of my absolute favorite horror subgenres - so when I heard that Full Tilt has been out for well over a decade and I still haven't read it, I immediately picked it up. While we follow young adult aged characters in this book, Shusterman did a fan......more
