Nerve

Product Information

I'd been looking forward to this one for a while, based on my experience with Eva Holland's magazine work, but I have to say it surprised me. I had expected a largely interview-based examination of the way fear works on the human mind and body, and there are certainly plenty of spots where that's exactly what's provided. What I did not expect was the depth of personal experience involved. On the Set for 6/15/15: Martin Scorsese Starts Shooting "Free Fire", Matthew McConaughey Finishes "Free State of Jones" & More".

You don’t have to worry you will be spoilered by movie before you read the book because they are two different stories. The only thing that the movie and this book have in common is the idea of truth and dare game. And Vee’s name.

Overall? I didn't enjoy a single aspect of this book. The characters were so bland I couldn't muster the energy to remember their names. The romance was underdeveloped and the plotline was weak. The dares were cringe-worthy, rather than thrilling. I got no sense of urgency or suspense. It was boring and poorly written. I don’t think I’d bother with anything else this author has written.I didn't trusted in the first place. I also didn't liked him or anything. I mean, i didn't hated him. I just did not knew what to think of him. And that feeling is still here. Emma Roberts and Dave Franco spotted filming 'Nerve' in NYC". onlocationvacations.com. April 18, 2015.

Taking place in what seems like not too far into the future as the technology is a bit more than what we have yet but getting pretty close this seems to be something that may come up in our reality obsessed society. Some of the book too seems to serve as a reminder of just how much can be found out about someone from just social media and online presence. She is problematic because she's one jeepers! away from a Scooby Doo level of eloquence, but then breezes through sexually explicit dare after sexually explicit dare. Overall, it’s fast paced read, some things I enjoyed, some of them not. It is not one of my favorite books but I think I will re-read it some day.

At one point when one of the dares actually starts getting insane, and there starts to be a lot of build up, and the suspense is finally happening... it just drops off and the payoff is just this messy sloppy thrown together ending. And God is this ending so unsatisfying. i read nerve for my college eng1a class! a deep dive into the emotion of fear, the neurological significance, and how our relationship to fear can morph and be changed rather than constantly hindering us, this book was interesting and sobering all at once.

She is problematic because she staged her own suicide but made sure she was found on time, just so she would get more attention than her best friend, for once?!?

Nerve by Jeanne Ryan | Goodreads

The prologue explains the situation of Abigail, a winner from the March games (likely in Richmond) who escapes to a state park to avoid the paparazzi. Tired of fame, she fails to realize a stalker followed her into the woods, and must jump down a waterfall to avoid getting kidnapped at gunpoint by her crazed fan. Abigail is referenced several times later in the novel, but most of the characters believe she staged the trip for attention, until they realize the true horrors of the game from which she was trying to escape.

This book had some of the most underdeveloped characters I have ever read about. Vee was an unpleasant protagonist. She had no spark. I could not connect with her. I found her decisions incredibly irritating. I understand that she has a shy and timid personality... so I guess it genuinely was a realistic response? However, I just could not understand her motivations or get inside her head. A pretty fast paced and intense story all the way throughout. The only thing really for me to not rate this one a bit higher was I wasn't completely sold on the ending dares. Looks like the movie is changing the action a bit so now after reading the story I'm looking forward to seeing this one played out on the big screen. So, cheesy, right? But not bad – I was entertained. I think many others will be entertained, but if you are looking for a deep story that makes a lot of sense and features fine literary writing, this is not it. I want to stress that I am not bashing the author or the book – it was good for a few hours of getting away and remembering being an imaginary bad ass teenager!

I have literally nothing to say about this other than the movie is better. Much better. I know that it’s part of the sacred book community rite of passage to always vehemently reject that sort of statement... but it’s true. I have been trying his method to turn the Vagus Nerve on with most all of my patients (and with my son). After following his precise instructions to perform the Basic Exercise (over the last 4 weeks) I have to say that I am disappointed in the results. I have not seen a big change in the uvula lift in most all of my patients (maybe I didn’t get them to yawn enough times). This author does an excellent job of describing the Polyvagal Theory for manual therapists. If you are not a manual therapist, you may still see some benefit from reading this book. The author describes the polyvagal theory thoroughly and explains some ways of improving your autonomic state from stress or dorsal vagal to social engagement. I was disappointed in this book. I understood there was a memoir component to the book, but the title's emphasis on the “Science of Fear” led me to believe that I could expect about half the book would be spent on the science behind our fear. This book is 85% memoir. The last third was when the science was more integrated into the book and was much more engaging (and redeemed the book from a two star to a three star review). What's left, then? A senseless book about a cast of senseless characters making senseless decisions throughout. Behold: Nerve.
