COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Flipped the Movie in Ann Arbor? submitted by Caser on May 30, 2009, 4:38pm Rumors abound that Van Draanen's 2001 youth novel, Flipped, is going to be made into a movie directed by Rob Reiner, part of which may be filmed in Ann Arbor, according to an article from the Ann Arbor Business Review. The article can be found here: http://www.mlive.com/business/ann-arbor/index.ssf/2009/05/film_company_leases_ann_arbor.html

Flipped is the story of Bryce and Juli, middle school students (for the majority of the novel) who alternately narrate each chapter of the book. From their diametrically opposite perspectives, the story revolves around Juli's childhood infatuation with Bryce for his brilliant blue eyes, and Bryce's attempts to stave off the affections of the eccentric Juli.

The book succeeds because it spends enough time developing each of its protagonists until they seem familiar and believeable, even if you don't always trust their ability to convey the truth of a situation. Throughout Flipped, truth is a certainly a matter of perspective.

Your heart will flip... submitted by go blue girl on November 16, 2010, 8:15pm Ahh where to begin? This book will have you laughing out loud, crying, and thinking about your very first crush. After I finished this book I found myself thinking: why did I read this so quickly?! I didn't want it to end. But no worries. The ending is amazing. Couldn't have dreamt of a better one myself. Cannot wait for the movie! :)

Awsome submitted by bbelalggazali on June 18, 2011, 4:28pm This book is about a boy a girl

really? submitted by sjaworsk on June 23, 2011, 5:55pm i dont get this book but i guess its ok

I have officially flipped submitted by vmclaugh on June 26, 2011, 8:45pm This is the best youth romance novel the world has come to know. I love it because its all about a boy and a girl that have issues with each other. First Juliana likes Bryce, the they both don't like each other, then Bryce falls for Juliana.
Where will it go next. . .?




This book makes you flip for more. . .

Flipped submitted by Smiles on July 17, 2011, 10:50am This book is about how Julianna likes Bryce, and then when Bryce likes her back, Julianna hates him. It's kind of wierd but interesting at the same time.

... submitted by sunitas on August 24, 2011, 7:13pm this was a really great book the movie was filmed in my nieborhood it was wonderful

Wow submitted by xjasx on June 17, 2012, 9:31pm I thought it was cool since the movie was filmed in ann arbor. I love how they make it how the perspectives are oppsites of each others

Thumbs Up submitted by 04foremanh on July 6, 2012, 6:39pm Most realistically written book in the world! This book has a very complex group of characters.

Loved it submitted by marisal on July 7, 2012, 10:42am I watched the movie first and I really liked it. I decided to read the book too. I loved the book even more than the movie.

I like it submitted by mohkaba on July 13, 2012, 10:30am It's really good I read it at school.

Flipped submitted by mwallagm on July 27, 2012, 11:10am Wow. I just grabbed this book off the shelf because my friend liked it and kept talking about it. it was so good and much better then I was expecting.
each chapter is told by either Bryce or Julianna.

Incredible submitted by Motomori on July 7, 2013, 10:36am Incredible book!!!!!! So much fun to read!! I would love to watch the movie, especially since it has been filmed in Ann Arbor!!!!!!!!!!

great submitted by chioma on July 7, 2014, 5:33pm This book is extremely great. The moral of this book is not just look at people from the outside but look deeper into them and see who they are, because a person might not be greater than the sum of its parts. It is a great, wonderful, amazing, beautiful book. Everyone should read it and everyone should, it is the most enjoyable book I have ever read. You literally cant put the book down because you want to know more and more about what's going to happen. Especially during the basket boy chapter. This is a really wonderful book. I, honestly, who be sad for those who don't read it when they have the chance. You should read this book!

Good submitted by purplelily on July 31, 2014, 10:26pm This is my boyfriend's favorite book. It's light hearted and very cute.

Loved it submitted by ECReader on July 9, 2015, 12:40pm This was a great book and I loved it's middle school romance story, which really did flip! I flipped for the movie too! It was a really great film that reflected the book perfectly, and was filmed in Ann Arbor!

An eye-opening book! submitted by melissafjames on August 31, 2016, 10:26am This book is written in two drastically different perspectives; it helps opens the eyes of the reader to realize that what you see isn't always what is there. Flipped can take you on a rollar coaster of emotions in just a few pages. I highly recommend it for those looking for a good read on trying to be a better person and loving others!

Bad submitted by oliviak1014 on July 22, 2018, 12:54pm Couldn't get into it. Wouldn't recommend it.

Flipped Movie submitted by Sirius Black on May 18, 2019, 10:13am The movie is filmed at Clague Middle School and Thurston Elementary in Ann Arbor Michigan. I now go to Clague.

Flipped submitted by c_zhang on June 28, 2019, 12:21am It's kinda cool that the movie adaptation of this book was filmed in Ann Arbor.

She loves him/He doesn't like her submitted by pamhockey25 on July 5, 2021, 12:23pm Bryce starts out wanting nothing to do with Juli. She's definitely different and he just wants to fit in. Juli starts crushing on Bryce but eventually realizes how he feels about her and stops her obsession...just at the time Bryce starts thinking about Juli differently. Hence the 'flip'...I haven't seen the movie but plan to, especially since several people say it was filmed right her in A2! Enjoyable book. recommended...
