Let him live(Have you ever had a wish?)

Have you ever had a wish? (I know I haven't.) In the book "let him live" by Lorlene McDaniel, Megan Charnels can give you a wish. Believe it or not. Megan charnels friend Cindy died and Megan's Therapists told her that getting involved would help her come to terms with what happened to Cindy. Megan new it was the last thing on her mind to work at a hospital for the summer. The worst part is she has to work with her dad the whole summer and that didn't sound like a fun summer to Megan. Then she meets a sick boy named Donovan Jacoby and she accidentally gets involved in his life. I liked Let him live a lot, and it is by my favorite Author Lorlene McDaniel. She writes the best books. This book is good because I like Hard-hitting books and realistic to, after you finish the book it leaves you with inspiration. Let him live wasn't really similar to my life. The touching part in this book was when Megan started caring more and showing more respect to her father's job now Megan sees why her father likes his work. I recommend, "let him live" to people who like hard-hitting and realistic, but also leaves you with inspiration and hope, The age group that would most understand would be 8 and up .The Females would mostly like "Let him live". So do you want to know how Megan charnel can give you a wish? Well read the book and you'll find out.

Let Him Live

Let Him Live was an amazing book. It showed how falling in love and giving love will always be with the two people no matter where they are. Megan had a lot of hardships in her life. But what she really needed was love. Donovan needed a liver transplant. But what he really needed was love. And lucky for them they both experinced loved. The book was amazing and I cry tears of joy every time I read the book. You really should read this book. It puts life and love in a whole new prosecptive. Besides every one needs love in thier life, even you! JWC

One of my favorites!

Here's why. It opens with Megan reluctantly getting a job as a candy-striper at the hospital where her father works. However,she soon makes friends with a very sick boy named Donovan. He confides in her about a check he receives from the One Last Wish foundation. Can she help him attain his wish in time? My favorite part was when Donovan was cold and Megan climbed into his hospital bed to warm him with her body(trust me,it's not as erotic as it sounds). I wish the book could have ended differently. Otherwise, I totally loved it! If you like this novel,read If I Should Die Before I Wake. The books are somewhat similar and both very great!
