    Hi,
    I’m 14.
    I am about half way through this book, and it is amazing. I am reading it, because I have to do a book report for my language class, and my sister had it in her room. I love this book so far. Anyone who can write a book this extravagant, this much attention grabber, is probably the best author I know.

    I found this book in my local library and was inspired by the set up to read it. I can easily say this was one of the most emotionally impacting books I have read and is up there with some of my favorite novels I have ever read. (I wish Jackie hadn’t've made that spoiler alert up there [if you didn't see it, don't look. She said the book was good too]) Anyway, the book really puts your thoughts on life in a brand new perspective, and I believe teens with and without suicidal thoughts should give this a read to get a glimpse of the thoughts of those of whom they may be not very respectful to and learn that everyone needs to be allowed their differences without total rejection. The moral I got is that love can save but temptation of your future is a greater inspiration to life.
