The cover of Impossible was what first drew me to check it out from the library. As I read it, I was a little shocked. I've read a lot of books in my short life. My sister has probably read more, but still, I've read more than most people. I know the way most books go, how the plots progress. I can usually guess the twists and turns a book will take. But not this one.
Impossible is a unique book in that it goes places most books wouldn't. It doesn't take you to dark corners like Hunger Games; it just shows you a new road you maybe haven't been down, or a shortcut to the grocery store.
Other than the unpredictability (is that a word?), the characters are only slightly interesting and the romance was wooden and forced. I enjoy the humor. It's not a great book for re-reading because the most interesting part is the impossible tasks, and after you've read it once you already know how they're completed.
Here are the two versions of the cover art that I've seen, so you can see why I'm still enthralled with the book, long after the shiny newness of it faded.
