Best Book I Have Red - Rated 
This is the best book i have ever red and i would reccommed it to everyone. I am 15 atm and after reading this it makes you so grateful for what you have. The book is about a 16 yar old girl who has the worst case of luckemia and she takes a turn for the worst and makes a list of things she wants to do when she dies, in the end she falls in love. WARNING if you are very emotional like me the worst part is the last 6 chapters.
Credits to the author, thanks for a great read!
Stunning! - Rated
I picked this up in the three for two at Borders having heard nothing about it at all..and I've just read it in bascially one sitting. Really lovely, beautiful and had me weeping at the end. Definately recommended.
A Compelling Waste Of Time - Rated 
I saw this book whilst surfing thorugh amazon, and thought it sounded good, so i stuck it on my wish list. I found out a of my friends had read it, and they went on about how good it was, and how much they cried at the end blah blah blah. Anyways, i borrowed it from one of them, and realised it was a good thing i didn't buy it. It was LAME!!!
The book has a good concept, but it is generally still quite undeveloped. The plot, the characters. It was just so boring. I couldn't even dredge up any sympathy for her friends and family when she died. I just didnt care.
However, i can say, even though i didn't really enjoy this book, i just didn't want to put it down. I know. I don't get it either :D

Well, what can I say!?
This was a truly fabulous book. As an avid reader, I have come aross many books which have moved me, and some which have brought tears to my eyes. But none have done quite what this book did to me; I was literally sobbing. I could barely get to the last page, because it seemed so utterly unbearable and unfair. Then, when I'd finally finished, I sat in the same position for 2 hours, to let the book sink in, all the while sobbing.
I also say to people "READ THIS ITS AMAZING" but when asked for an explanation, I can offer nothing more than the rather mundane its about this girl who's dying of leukemia and has made a list of things to do before she dies. At this most people sigh and say "oh...its one of THOSE".
It is not. Far from it in fact.
I can't summarise the book, because it just wouldn't do it justice.
Never before has the style of writing been more effective in reflecting what is happening in the book, I won't give it away, but suffice it to say, Downham is a fantastically skilled writer.
Go and read it, but be prepared with tissues.
This book made me cry - Rated
The first book that made me cry. It's written in such a good way and seems so spontaneous even if it talks of such delicate subjects.
