Customer Reviews

I laughed and Cried.. this book is great !

This book I really didn't want to read it was just an assignement but when I got up to about the 5th chapter I didn't want to put it down.. I really wish the author would have wrote a sequal because I didn't want the book to end. I don't like reading very much but after reading this it was amazing. The book relates so well and the characters are picked so perfect, but it has sad and happy qualities. I don't know how people can write a book this good but she gets an appluase from me because I loved it!

Absolutely Great!

I love this booK! It's so great. What happens is that a girl named Star (no last name...if Madonna doesn't need one, neither does she) has to live in a place called "Hope House" where people go when their diseases take a turn for the worse. She finds her first "real" friend there, but is afraid that when her friend Courtney finds out how sick she really is with CF, she's afraid that Courtney will hate her guts. This is a great book--I think anyone will love it!

A brill book everyone should read to understand CF

'goodbye best friend' is a brilliant book. I also suffer from Cystic Fibrosis and I can relate to all the problems Star had. If you enjoyed this book you should read One Last Wish-A time to Die by Lurlene McDaniel as it also features a teenage girl with Cystic Fibrosis but it goes into life with CF more than 'goodbye best friend'

Perfect

I am 14 year-old. After reading this book I see what it means to have best friends and how to treat them knowing the next day they may not be there. I recomend it for any age , it is a real tear jerker but a great lesson for life. Katie

Good-bye, Best Friend is a must read for all ages.

This story contains a lot of information, and a lot of meaning. The author (Cherie Bennett) really put attitude into the story. It's deals with many teen-age problems and has characters that are easy to understand. It shows how hard Cystic fibrosis can be on a young girl's life. Good-bye, Best Friend is my favorite book, and hopefully your's too
