Summary: Great Book!!!
Review: After getting through the Lemony Snickett books, I was looking for another humorous book about horrible things happening to people. Thankfully, this didn't disappoint. The main character of this book gets AIDS from an unscreened blood transfusion, falls in love, and subsequently dies, leaving her lover alone. Every page is hilariously funny, poking brilliant fun at all the angst and stupidity in the world. I reccomend it to anyone looking for a good laugh.

Summary: A great love story!
Review: When Anne and her father find out that she is HIV positive from getting a blood transfusion seven years earlier, they get the chance to stay on a ranch for a while. There, Anne meets a guy named Morgan who she falls in love with, but she doesn't tell him about her sickness because she doesn't want him to treat her differently. This becomes difficult, because Morgan doesn't know whats going on and why Anne sometimes acts strangely around him. I know a lot of people have probably given away the ending in their reviews, but I think you should buy this book and find out for yourself! You will not regret it!
I read this book in the One Last Wish book that has three stories: Mother Help Me Live, Let Him Live, and this one, Sixteen and Dying. I recommend buying that book because it not only has this great story, but also two other great stories.

Summary: A book you can't put down
Review: When I first saw a girl in my class reading a novel by Lurlene McDaniel I had asked her if I could borrow it. Once I started reading, I couldn't out it down! I just wanted to keep reading some more, I needed to find out what happened next. Once I had finished the book, I felt that it should have keep going(not that the ending wasn't good) I could have kept reading about Anne and Morgan forever. My friend and I have now been lending each other each Lurene McDaniel book we can get our hands on.
Her novels are so insperationel, and I usally end up crying at the end, so keep writing Lurene, I love your books!

Summary: The one that got me hooked...
Review: When I was ten, I read this book. Now I'm twenty-one and I haven't missed a Lurlene McDaniel novel since... not to mention the fact that I've scoured the Internet for every out-of-print book she's ever written.This novel hooked me immediately with its touching story and ability to convey the truth about what life is like for some unfortunate individuals. Too many times in our sugar-coated society, teens are unaware of the horrors that exist in life. McDaniel has the innate ability to create the awareness that is so desperately needed by teens while still entertaining the reader as well as not scaring him or her completely. Emotions run rampant in everyone of McDaniel's novels; but this one is a good starting point because it's incredibly gentle in its realities. Many adolescents may not comprehend the fact that 16-year-olds get AIDS; but this novel introduces those facts and leaves the readers hungry for more. And, as we all know, awareness is the best preventative action of all.
