Customer Reviews

I Want to Live Review!!!

I Want to Live is a really good book. I like this book because it tells you what it's like to have cancer. I don't think this book could be any better. If you were looking for a book I would recommend this one especially if you were a girl. Dawn, the main character, was in remission, but then she needed a bone marrow transplant. Your going to have to read it yourself to find out what happens.

An Eye-opener

This book is so amazing. I have never really given cancer so much thought. This book is so entralling I could not put it down for a second. And the fact that it could really happen makes you cry.The trama that Dawn and her family is almost unbearible. The best book I've ever read.

this book rocks!

i am 15 and my mom was just recently diagnosed with cancer. not long after that she bought me this book. once i started reading it i could not put it down. it helped me feel more comfortable around my mom and realize that she is scared because she knows she is different and it also helped me respect her feelings.

Why has no one reviewed? This book rocks!

This is one of the most saddest, and heart-braking, yet fun-loving book I have ever read. I am suprised no one has reviewed it. It definitly deserves 5 stars. If youy like stories about sad situations children today are in, this book is for you!

It's the best book I've ever read!

Iloved Six Months to Live,and I Want to Live.I cried at the end of both,it was very sad. I like your books because they are sad. So far I'm enjoying reading Till Death Do Us Part.I also plan on reading For Better, For Worse, Forever, and So Much to Live For. My favorite book of yours is Six Months to Live. My favorite part was when they fooled Dr. Ben at camp,
