Find a Stranger, Say Goodbye

Rating:
Summary: Excellent
Review: Find a Stranger, Say Goodbye in my opinion was a gripping and emotional novel. Lowry describes Natalies perfect lifestyle so vividly and also the strains of the fact she has been adopted.
I really enjoyed reading this little novel and advise anyone to read it as it is well worth it. I have to say I nearly cried when I finished the book! It has also inspired me to read more of her books.
Find a Stranger, Say Goodbye is a breath of fresh air for me from all the other superficial teenage novels and seems to delve deeper into peoples real emotions which out of all the other teenage novels I have read have lacked to do.

Summary: Amazing!!!
Review: I read this book for the first time when I was in high school and was dealing with "saying goodbye" to my birthmother. It was such a relief to see what I was feeling actually in words. Seven years later, this book is still one of my favorites. It goes beyond the general circumstances surrounding Natalie's adoption and really gets into what she is feeling and the story behind the adoption in the first place. This is a book that ANYONE who has been adopted needs to read. It's a great novel that stays with you!

Summary: Very moving
Review: I read this book in my late teens, after having given a child up for adoption at sixteen. It moved me deeply and I have read it several times since. Definitely recommended for anyone who has experienced adoption from either side.

Summary: overall a good book!
Review: This book starts off slow but picks up quickly. When I first picked it up i was a little skeptical about it but I ended up really getting into this novel.
If you are a book lover and love to read i recommend this book. If you are not then i would not recommend this book because you may get bored and you have to follow along with the many characters in the novel.
In the novel a young girl named Natalie Armstrong finds out that she is a little different then her sister. She finds out that she was adopted and has no information about her real parents. Throughout the book it is an adventure to find her mother and meet her for the first time. It keeps you on edge because she runs into many problems and keeps you guessing. The ending is great!

Summary: Overall a good book!
Review: This novel is about a young girl named Natalie Armstrong who discovers that she is a little different than everyone else in her family. She discovers that she was adopted at birth and has no information about her real biological parents. Throughout the book it takes you on an adventure to find information about her biological parents and contact them.

This book overall was a very good book. It starts off slow but quickly picks up. When I first picked up the book I was a little skeptical but a few chapters into the book I was hooked. It gets really exciting when she finds out that her life isn't as complete as she thought it was for seventeen years. I couldn't wait to find out what was going to happen.

I liked this book because it keeps you on edge about what will happen. She runs into many problems on her journey to finding her biological parents and it keeps you guessing what will happen next. The ending is great and you will be happy with the book overall.
