Turbulence is 246 pages. Turbulence is about a young girl called Clay who has started a newspaper round. It is clever how Mark explains how ‘Clay loves the scenes in American movies where paperboys cycle down wide suburban streets hurling the newspapers in the general direction of front doors. Clay explains how she has weighed her daily newspaper and it weighed 987 grams.’ It makes you think twice when you are reading this book and when you are watching those types of movies and films.
Her father is self-employed and spends most of his time in his studio. He is a bit weird because he has to watch an old film, Hurry Sundown, to be able to fall asleep. He has never watched the whole film.
Turbulence, in my opinion, is a book which, because it is not that interesting, you don’t really take in when you are reading – what is happening and what the plot is. Turbulence is published in paperback: I would give it 6/10.
