Summary: A Great Read
Review: McDaniel's novel, Telling Christina Goodbye, is about four friends, Trisha, the protagonist, Christina, Cody, and Tucker, the antagonist, the villian.These friends are coming home from from a basketball game one night when they skid on a patch of ice. Christina dies, Cody is comatose and Trisha is injured while Tucker is hardly hurt. Trisha spends most of the book trying to move on and forgive Tucker, the driver, for killing her best friend. I would definitly recommend this book to any teen. The ideas and concepts may be a bit too difficult for younger children. This is a great book and McDaniel definitly deserves praise for it. She made a comeback, after recently poor novels with this book. Read it, because it's a great read.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This book is great!
Review: My favorite book that I have read in the last two months is Telling Christina Goodbye. It was the first book I read that was written by Lurlene McDaniel. I have started reading her other books because of Telling Christina Goodbye. Even though it was sad, I still enjoyed it. The story plot is that Trisha, Christina, Tucker, and Cody were riding in a car and they crashed. The story is about how Cody, Tucker, and Trisha get over the terrible tragedy of Christina's death. None of those people in the car crash will forget that night. It was an excellent story. This story taught me to appreciate life and friends.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: Another Great McDaniel Book
Review: Telling Christina Good-bye is another great book by Lurlene McDaniel. All of her books are really good, but in this one you could really identify with the main character, Trisha, as she struggles to "say good-bye" to her best friend by holding on to the memories she has. In the book you feel the pain and hurt when her boyfried doesn't recoginize her, and you can relate to how she is always there to help her best friend deal with her not-so-nice boyfriend. The reader can also feel Trisha's shock when she finds out the accident was really Tucker's fault and in a way Christina's. McDaniel rights stronly about an everyday girl whose life is turned around when a car accident leaves her injured, her boyfriend in a coma, and her best friend dead. This strays from the topic of illness that her books are normally about, but she still keeps the idea about death and how percious our life really is. If anything her point comes through stronger in this novel because the character that died didn't have the prolonged death and chance to say good-bye that most dying characters normally have in her books. The book shows how you that life can be normal one minuet and change in a split second, nevering being the same again.

Rating: 5 stars

Review: Telling Christina Goodbye is a great book. I couldn't put it down!! In Telling Christina goodbye Christina's boyfriend is driving a little too fast and he slips off the road. Then he flips the car over on its side. The impact kills her instently. The caracters are Chrisina, Tucker (chrisinas boyfriend), Trisha (chrisinas best friend) and Cody (Trishas boyfriend). What do you think will happen? Will Tucker get blamed for Chrisinas's death or not?? I liked this book because there was always something happening. I read this book in a couple of nights! The author of this book is Lurlene McDaniel. I have read alot of her books and I love them all but i think Telling Christina Goodbye is the best out of all of them!!

Summary: My View On "Telling Christina Goodbye"
Review: Telling Christina Goodbye is one of the greatest books ever! I think Lurlene McDaniel is a realy good writer. I've also read other books that she has written, such as, Six Months to Live and all the sequels to that book. These books teach not only adults, but kids (ages 12-18) to appreciate life, friends, family, and all things God has given you. Reading this book (Telling Christina Goodbye) made me feel like I was part of the story. Tucker has not really shown Trisha love for Christina. But Trisha's boyfriend, Cody, has for Trisha. Trisha wishes that Tucker would treat Christina like Cody treats her. But somehow she just can't get him to do that. But in the end Tucker has learned a valuable lesson. But I'm not going to tell you that lesson exactly 'cause the book itself does not tell the lesson "you" yourself have to figure out that lesson. I know this is a long review but I wanted to add in more of my words for Lurlene McDaniel. Lurlene McDaniel is a FABULOUS writer. Thank You!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Love and Friendship Forever at heart
Review: Telling Christina Goodbye is the second book by Lurlene McDaniel i have cried in. This book so touching. I didnt even read the back of the book cuz i didnt want to know wut it was about. When i got to the part where they got in the accident i was shocked! Tucker was ok but she really wanted to know about Cody and Christina but no one would tell her or even lisen to her. When it got to the part where Trisha saw 2 figures of people in the ditch i was curiouse even though i already knew who they had to be. But when Trisha found out that Christina was gone i started to cry! I also cried once it came tot he funeral and how Tirsha must had been feeling. when Tirsha was saying:"What im I every going to do? What am I going to do?" I cried. The other sad part was when Trisha went to see Cody in the Chicago Hospital and went in and Cody didnt know who she was. Trisha must have felt pretty upset, Cody was her love, the one boy who understood how she felt about Christinas well being. But when Trisha gets hope on helpping Cody get his memorie back, that just changes everything! I only wish i had a boyfriend who loved me as much as Cody loved Trisha.
