GREAT BOOK

My Sister Read This Book And She Thinks It Was A Really Good Book. Sad And Loving. When She Read It, She Didn't Stop Reading, Finished In Two Hours.

Great "quick" read.

This was a really great read! Very short, but good. I read this in about 3 hours. I would really recommend this book to those going on a trip and need something to read on the way, or if you just want to cozy up one evening and read a good book. Great novel =)

Hit and Run

This was a timeless and tragic story of what happens when a mistake is made and no one tries to tell the truth. I enjoyed the fact that this story was written in first person from the perspective of all 4 people involved. This story is centered on popularity and what teens will do to try to obtain it. This story was a little more grown up and I do not recommend it for anyone under the age of 14. It still gives you a new perspective on your life.

Excellent Book!

I read this book as it was a book that was on my son's summer reading list. It was an excellent book. Very well written and suspenseful. I really enjoyed it. However, I wish I knew what happened to all of the characters after the confession. Was there a trial? What happened? It would be nice to read a "SEQUEL" to this book. I would like to know what happened after the fact, to Quin, Jeremy and Laurie and the others and how this incident changed their lives. Sheila

Beautiful

Another of Lurlene McDaniel's beautiful, moving novels. Told in the persepctive of four different adolescents, they all are connected by a terrible accident. Quin, an extraodinary athlete whose career hangs in the balance after a terrible mistake. Laurie, a quiet girl who finds herself admist all the confusion after simply agreeing to go on a date. Jeremy, a carpenter-in-training whose skills will be used to make something for Analise. And finally, Analise, the victim of a terrible accident who hovers between life and death, seeing the bright light and hearing her parents and Jeremy call to her to live. This book so reminds me of the classic Billy Joel song "Goodnight, My Angel" , perhaps it is the last line of the book "Goodbye, my angel" that does it. All adolescents should read this book and see how the decisions you make can affect those you do not know.
