Customer Reviews

One of Lurlene's best

As the title says, this has to be one of her best. She gives Anne, a young girl at the age of 16, a great personality. Anne is diagnosed with HVI, which was transferred to her through blood that was ment to save her life when she was 10. As her 'One Last Wish' she goes to a ranch out in Colorado where she meets Marti, a young mislead girl who becomes her friend, and Morgan, a wild cowboy that keeps a mysterious secret. She soon becomes very close with them, especially Morgan, but she can't forget her diagnose. How long will Anne have to live?

Sixteen and Dying

I think this book was great. It was one of the first books I have read of McDaniel. Anne was very responsible by making sure she didn't spead your diease. I think she went throw alot by not wanting to say goodbye to Morgan when she left the rench. But it was nice of Morgan to visit her (without her knowing) back in New York. The ended was sad on count of Anne dying but it was good the Morgan was there with her thorw the bad times.

YOU'VE GOTTA READ

I read the book Sixteen and Dying by Lurlene McDainel for a book report project in school. I thought that this book was a great book. I have read all of Mrs. McDaniel's books. They are full of detail as well as realism. Mrs. McDaniel's books are very real feeling. I like how she comes up with the ideas to write these types of books. I gave this book five stars because it was probably the best book I have read. I would recommend this book to anyone.

One of the best books i ever read!

I'v never been very into books, Untill one day,last year, when a friend of mine told me about a book that she read and suggested that i read it. I told her i don't really like to read but she said that it was one of the best books she has ever read, so i told her i would read it. I checked it out from our school library and soon i was reading the book and enjoying it. I liked the book so much. I then began to read other Lurlene McDaniel books and loved them just as much. I just recently finnished Sixteen and Dying, and it was such a good book. it had a little of everything in it, romance, humor, friendship and everthing else that makes a great book the best! I will admit that i did cry and if you have as such a weekness for romance and illness, as do I, then you probably will too! i can't wait to read "Reach for Tomorrows" where we can learn more about Morgan Lancaster and what becomes of him. i really want to thank Lurlene McDaniel for writing these books, i've read a bunch of them and truly enjoy them! i hope you do too!

THE BEST!

What can I say, except that it is simply the best. It will keep you up all night, wondering about Morgan and Anne. And when you finally fall asleep you'll dream all about the wonderful, well written story by my favorite author, Lurlene McDaniel. I really recommend any book written by her, especially "Sixteen and Dying", and "I'll be Seeing You", and "A Time to Die". Another great book written by her would be "Reach for Tomorrow" but you would have to be up to date on the One Last Wish novels to really get into it.
