One Night Margaret Wild Books

It was weird because of the format of the story and hard to follow a little, but it was overall ok.

One Night Margaret Wild Books Reviews

High School Party. The narrator is Gabe. The story is told in what appears to be blank verse. In the lead up to the party he gossips about his friends and classmates. After the party the focus shifts to Helen who discovers she’s to be an unwed mother. The point of view shifts and at times the wrong person is attributed in page titles.
Gabe is a brash teenage guy who steadfastly ignores the pain of his past and seemingly lives only to toy with girls at parties. Helen is a serious, smart girl who wants to be a plastic surgeon and is uncomfortably aware of her previously deformed face. By chance, the two meet at a party that Helen reluctantly went to with a friend. Somehow, Helen and Gabe connect emotionally in an almost magical way and she is pregnant before the night is over. Helen is forced to deal with a life that changes each day in frightening and awe-inspiring ways.

Yes, this book is written in free verse. But as someone who usually shuns poetry, I can say that this style resulted in some of the most mind-blowingly moving images I have ever encountered in a novel. "One Night" is a quick read, composed of many one-or two paged poems that are each meant to chronicle a particular event or feeling in the lives of Helen, Gabe, and those connected to the two main characters. The poems vary in length, yet Wild writes them in such a way as to make every single word count. With surprisingly few words, she captures Gabe's desolation, Helen's powerful spirit, the upheaval the pregnancy causes, and the pain of labor. Wild is able to write in a way that will keep teens reading, but also to express controversial issues and wrenching emotions in ways that would make great authors proud. This is one of those books that you "travel" through with a racing heart, wanting to absorb every word of each poem, yet rushing ahead to find the next stunning line from this author's pen. With its simplicity yet depth and its hopeful ending, "One Night" is a book that will leave an impression.
This Book was not good! It was just weard. It would have been a great story plot if it was put together right!
the book kept my attention but I found my self wanting more of something..more conflict more tension more details more info on the night it happened.
The book was not as good as I thought it would be. It was written in poetry form which was fine. The main characters hardly interacted with each other. At the end of the book I was thinking...THAT'S IT?!?!
When I read this book, I was immediately entranced. The topic of discussion in this book tugged at the very bottom of my heart. The girl is this book reminds me of well, me. Everything that happened to her happened to minus the prrgnancy. Awesome book. Definately recommend.
If this story wasn't written in a poem like way it would have been way more enjoyable. I found it hard to follow in some spots because of this. It also jumps around quite a bit. One minute you're with the boy, then the girl, then a random friend. Could be way better if written in a different way with more story to it. Not a fan,
