Summary: Invinvcible Summer
Review: I highly recommend Invincible Summer. This book is very well written. It keeps your attention to the point were you cannot put the book down. Robin was speechless when the doctor told her she had leukemia. Dr. Schwartz said, "All indications are that Robin has acute lymphocytic leukemia." I believe girls from the age eleven and older would enjoy this book the most because it is a love story. For example, the book tells about how two people met in a difficult time and despite everything they fell in love. "I will always love you, I wish I can marry you right now," Robin tells Rick. If you like to read love stories, then this is the perfect book for you.

Summary: It deals with love and strength
Review: I love this book because it deals with courage and love. I am a very picky reader I though I woun't like it,boy was I wrong. I like books that have a little romance and people who are fighting for their lives. I am not a fast reader but I went though the book in three days. I hope the next person who reads it, likes it as muck as I did

Summary: This is one of the best books I've read for a long time!
Review: I LOVE this book because it shows what people with Leukemia go through, feeling all alone and that it takes someone else with Leukemia to comfort them because they understand what they're going through. This story made me think about how I act to people with cancer.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: No subject
Review: If anybody reads this,then they too know how I feel about this book.At first I didn't get it when Rick said,"That's the...quote of...the..."I thought he fell asleep or something.I had to read it like 3 or 5 times to get it.I also didn't get ,"The image of red taillights leaving her driveway that lost night in June came into her mind." [....]Well I think that I've said to much now I should go,but I leave you with one more thing.You most read this book if you have not done so already.Thats my quote of the week.

Summary: This Book Leads Teenagers Down Dangerous Path
Review: If you are considering buying this book for a child--Watch Out!! Under the facade of teenage love, this book earns a position front and center among the literature which tells kids "young teens having sex, "making love", with other teens is really great!" In the story Robin falls in love with Rick and can't wait to spend another weekend at the motel with him---Without her parents' knowledge of course." After their first sensual weekend together, Robin comments, "I am so glad we didn't wait [to make love] last weekend." Rick's response, "Me too," is probably too much for most parents to stomach." What about his "promise" to Robin, 'I will be willing to sleep with you any day.' This is a children's book--marketed to young teenagers. Is this the message that we want them to have, "Lie to your parents, go on weekend sexual excursions with young boys--this is what life is all about..." Ohh, did I mention that Rick uses condoms..yeah. Terrific! Do I want my son or daughter being fed this kind of emotionally manipulating material? Hardly. The story is an emotional one, but interjected with corrupting sexual events. The author has ruined a good story.

Summary: Invinvcible Summer
Review: Invincible Summer by Jean Ferris is a fabulous book for teenagers. The words are not too complex and it is a quick read, but the plot is uplifting and precious. While reading this book I felt emotionally charged, I cried, I laughed, I fell in love, and I suffered.

This novel tells the story of a 17 year old girl diagnosed with Leukemia. When diagnosed, she is confronted with fears she had never known before. But as she struggles through chemo-therapy and the effects, she meets a boy, also with leukemia, who shares her pain. These two teenagers experience true love. They feel together and love together. And although they do have sex (I see a parent disagrees in an earlier review) the author does not include any details unapropriate for the age group and adds it in addition to the love they feel, not as proof of the love they feel. Now, that I've argued my point. I will encourage every reader to get this novel (from a library or amazon.) It is an easy and quick read, but it will touch you and teach you. It's DEFINITELY worth the read!

Summary: For All Seasons
Review: Rick and Robin are soulmates,but the tragedy is that they are both fughting leukemia...this book's going to make some people cry so be sure the tissue box is full and close by.

I almost gave this amazing story 5 stars.Only Jean Ferris' talk of God made me lower it...for the reason that I'm not too sure she likes Him.

Robin's virginity issue couldn't have been handled more tastefully.

Invincible Summer follows Rick and Robin's relationship through each of the 4 seasons.

This is a beautiful and gripping story but expect it to end with a question mark.
