Summary: I thought the book was great.
Review: I like the book Six Months To Live because it tells how Dawn handles cancer. She really handles it well. She had leukemia which is cancer. When Dawn was in the hospital Dawn meets a girl named Sandy. They did everything together in the hospital. I really like this book because it would probably be good for kids that have cancer. I'm not trying to be rude, but it was just a suggestion. But other people can read it, too. The only part I didn't like was when Sandy passed away. Dawn had been out of the hospital a couple months. But in that time they wrote each other and sent gifts to each other, too. Then Dawn got a letter from Sandy's parents saying: Dear Dawn, Sandy passed away today. It was sad. I'll miss her. Dawn went downstairs and told her mom. I think the book was wonderful. It was great!

This book shows how fragile life really is. How quickly life can be flipped upside down. It reminds us not to take our life or people we care for for granted. Not to waste time sulking over what you didn't do in the past because everyone knows you can't change the past. The book also show how much faith and belief in herself one girl can have and how that can help in facing difficult times in opur life. The author also has a good technique in turning serious situations into reality for people who may not know anything about the subject.

Summary: Cancer can kill prople.
Review: Dawn is a very average girl who goes in for a check up, and they diagnosis her with cancer. She meets a great friend who has also been diagnosed. Both girls go through a lot with their cancer. They both finally achieve remission and go home and try to live a normal life.... I like this book and hope others will read it too. As I read these books, it helped me think about what a privilege it is to be healthy and alive!

Summary: My finest hour
Review: I must say to all of the people who's hearts this book touched, you are truly blessed. I wrote this as a window into the lives of a dying teenager, and it has become so much more, in fact, a four part series. Thank you to all of the "Dawn's out there, and live your life to it's fullest, and if you find someone you can possibly love, whether he (or she) be dying of Cancer, Diabetes, or even just having a physical or learning handicap of any kind, hold on to that love, and never let go, because when you only have six months to live, you will regret losing it.

When they go to a cancer camp they have the time of their lives and meet two unforgetable boys, Greg and Mike.
