My first impression about Turbulence was that it was going to be really funny, getting into it, wanting to turn the page. It was not.
Turbulence is about a typical teenage girl, Clare, who lives with her not so typical family. She has a very boring, repetitive life. So much to the extent where she starts to predict conversations and events. Her problems start to arrive when Mum invites the Harkers the new couple to diner. Sandor, the husband, is very good with new people, especially women. After Sandor and Ali Sandor's wife, have a party, everyting kicks off. All the neighbours get involved in a rageing row betwwen Sandor and Ali. Practically every couple on the block is now having an argument about affairs and adultery - with Sandor Harker. As Clare get more and more involved, how she wonders, she discovers more and more about the Harkers. On top of all this, there are problems within her household.
Her Mum trys 'getting it on' with Sandor Harker.
Her Dad starts watching lots more westerns and isolates himself with life.
Her Gran(who watches lots of Zombie and Horror films) is thrown into craze claiming Sandor and Ali are Vampires.
Her brother, Jamze, starts taking regular parties, and drugs.
Even with the moderatly funny jokes and wise cracks, i'd rate this book 5/10 and would not reccomend it to anyone as a casual book. This is because it doesn't make me want ot turn the page and it has no real twists included within the storyline.
