Don't Let Me Die

I was looking for a novel to read when my reading teacher suggested I read "Don't Let Me Die". I really enjoyed the book and I love to read it! The book is very sad. Lucy loses all of her perfect life to a car crash. I cried through the whole book. It such an amazing book. I believe it's the best book anyone could ever read. So please buy "Don't Let Me Die", you'll really love it.

This Book was the Best!

I think that everyone should read this book. Because Lindsay Caldwell did a great job decribing what it is like to almost die. She also helped us realize that life is the most important thing we have. We shouldn't take it for granted we should treasure the time we have to live. ~**BUY THIS BOOK IT IS EXCELLENT!!!**~

very touching, and heartfelt...

I think that the book was very touching and heartfelt. I loved the story, I hadn't read a novel, except ones based on shows and movies. This story, was very well written, and showed how Lucy felt throughtout everything that went on. At times I thought that maybe she wasn't going to walk again, but at the end, she made it, she walked. My cousin got the book from her school, and gave it to my mum to read. My mum said it was an excellent story, and I agree, it is one of thee best books I have ever read in my life.

This was a great book I liked it alot.

The book has 4 parts and the first part is when she's in the hospital, the next part is when she's in rehab and meets 3 friends, the thrid part is when she goes to her grandmas house because she lived in an apartment.It started when Lucy St. Cloud was going to her friends house and her boyfriend was dancing with her friend Jenny. She was upset and left early. On the way home a truck hit her.She had to go to the hospital. She didn't like much and she hated the thought of her boyfriend and her friend Jenny. You're going to have to read the book. I liked the book alot and I think anybody would like it.

In the book Lucy arrives at a party where she sees her boyfriend and best friend dancing. This does not affect her untill neither Dash nor Jenny notice that she has arrived. Lucy then leaves the party immediatly even though her other friends try to get her to stay. On the way home Lucy is in an accident where she is trapped for a period of time in her car. After she is freed from the reckage Lucy is taken to the hospital where she undergoes numerous surgeries on her legs. Once released from the hospitial after some interesing turns Lucy goes to a rehabilitation center. It is here where Lucy must face the toughest part of her healing, the emotional part. Lucy however doesn't want to deal with this so she runs to the safty of her grandparent's house. Here she encounters some new people such as Andy and Superguy. Lucy realizes while she is at her grandparents that it is soly up to her wether or not she will ever walk again. Her therapist can only do so much the rest is hers alone. You will see the result of what a change in attitude can do for the betterment of us all. If you are like me the characters are easily identifiable with.
