I like the book alot

I read the book back in 1989 after my grandmother passed away. I ordered it on Dec 21, 2001 and I know it's late due to the holidays but I am getting worried that the book might be lost in the mail.

Excellent examination of the teen psyche

the flashbacks to sarah's childhood, her twisted jealousy of her younger sister, and the ease with which she manipulates her parents are all elegantly portrayed in remember me when i am dead. my favorite part of the book is definitely the end, when sarah has a few delicious moments of triumph-then learns that she won't get what she wants after all. frankly, i think sarah is an awful person and i would never be friends with her-but then, i am the darling only child and the precocious only grandchild. every time i read this book i muse over what i would have been like in her place, and if that skating accident damaged her brain (no, really). if you can find a copy of this book, definitely read it-and if you need to do a book report about a novel with more depth than the Sweet Valley series, this one comes highly reccomended from someone who averages reading a thousand books a year.
