About this ebook

The amazing New York Times bestseller about what you can do when life gives you a second chance.

Chase's memory just went out the window. Chase doesn't remember falling off the roof. He doesn't remember hitting his head. He doesn't, in fact, remember anything. He wakes up in a hospital room and suddenly has to learn his whole life all over again . . . starting with his own name. He knows he's Chase. But who is Chase? When he gets back to school, he sees that different kids have very different reactions to his return. Some kids treat him like a hero. Some kids are clearly afraid of him. One girl in particular is so angry with him that she pours her frozen yogurt on his head the first chance she gets. Pretty soon, it's not only a question of who Chase is -- it's a question of who he was . . . and who he's going to be. From the #1 bestselling author of Swindle and Slacker, Restart is the spectacular story of a kid with a messy past who has to figure out what it means to get a clean start.

This book is wow... Let's just say if you like this book you either have never read in your life or I feel sorry for your choices of books in the past I am forced to read this for school and I can barely make it through(and I made it through Divergent,which nearly made me throw up whilst reading so that's saying a lot) The writing overall is terrible.I read review of people saying it was detailed.No its not,this book describes stuff so poorly and has no detail.If you want detail read IT by Stephen King Gordan Kormans depiction of teens is way off.No one acts like this and I highly doubt when he was a teen anyone acted like this.I hate books like this set in present time.Most are cringy but this reaches a knew low I hate the bits about YouTube.No teen who does YouTube acts like Brandon or what ever his name is.I don't even remember because the characters are all the same and so forgetful If you like reading don't even bother with this book,if you could even call it that.

I was one of those people who could never touch a chapter book, but, my sister convinced me to read it and it's quite a beautiful book. The story is fiction and yet I can still relate to the emotions and feeling of the characters toward others people in the book. It is detailed, nicely paced, and has great jokes. The story can get a cliffhanger without making you feel like it's obvious what events occur next. I highly recommend this book in any circumstance your in, especially if you want to start reading and getting into novels.

I'm not really into reading, but this book changed my perspective of it entirely. The story of Chase Ambrose is interesting enough to get anyone hooked. Every chapter it leaves me waiting for more, and it's addictive. I rate Restart 5 stars because I think it deserves it. PLEASE BUY THIS BOOK!!!
