Reviews

I read this book as a preteen. While going through boxes of my childhood items I remembered loving this book and decided to read it as an adult for fun. I still think it would be an excellent read for a teen or preteen even though it’s older and outdated. To my surprise without even realizing it the author of this book also wrote Six Months To Live. I had also read that as a preteen and read it again as an adult.

My mom made me read this book... it just wasn't good.

I read this book way back when I was in junior high, and it absolutely rattled me, in the best possible way. I wish I still had my copy to see if it’s as good as I remember.
