I thought this was an interesting book for teenagers. I enjoyed the use of the personal letters, the classroom assignments, and other prsonal accounts. The use of different type fonts made the story more personal. The portrayals of the adults did not convey their true deep compassion. Many lessons and issues are presented here for the young reader's consideration.

i have read Sharon M. Draper's book FORGED BY FIRE in the passed so when i heard about this book i was more than happy to read it and futher more share my thoughts about the book. but this book was great because its base upon life and this like the car crash and drinking beer happens to people everyday. and its so real although i dont think Andy should have delt with his problem the way he did but the book was very powerfull and realist.

I liked the story at lot. It creeped me out on some parts. I'd recomend this book because it tells the story of a boy whom blam himself for the death of his friend and goes through a dramatic change. It tells exactly how he feels and also the feelings of his friends whom he had also afected. This book may help people with the same problems as Andy and might help people to go a different direction. I really enjoyed this book but it isnt my type of story.

It was a very moving story and required you to really look down deep within yourself. It gave a powerful message and allowed you to see what happens when you leave friends and loved one behind. You are not doing it to yourself but to a whole lot of people. Everyone suffers.

I don't think any book, save "The Outsiders" by S.E. Hinton seems to come close to the reality of living as a teen as this book. I did a quick glance at the synopses of the other books in the series, and they are very poweful too. Very powerful reading for youth and young adults. I would recommend this to any teen, especially an African American youngster.

I liked the book it tells us young children that you should not drink and drive.Because that might just happen to you. I will never drink and drive. then it was sad that Andy had to die because of the accident when he was in a bad state. He had a dream that Rob had came back and was talking to him. But it was just his mind playing with him

I am a teen librarian at the Trumbull Public Library and this book was given to me by one of the childrens librarians. We do have this book in our collection as both print and audiobook, but I had not read it. This one's a tear-jerker. I read it last night before going to sleep and had to watch some Comedy Central TV before going to sleep! Well-written, easy to get into, told from multiple points of view. Now I'm going to have to get the 2nd and 3rd in the series to find out what happens to B.J., Keisha, Tyrone and the others.

The story was well written. I felt as if I were walking the halls of the highschool with the characters. The book emmited several emothins from me. There were times when I laughed, and times when I cried. I didn't like the fact that the story ended on such a tragic note. somehow I wish Andy would have lived to get his life back on track. I literally ended the book in tears. Overall, the book was very interesting and very informational to teens who may be going through something similar in their life.

I liked the story a whole lot. It was sad though, but I understud what the teens were going through. To watch your friend die in a burning car. That must really hurt and trying to forget about it. It can be difficult to try to forget about thing like that because someone that you love so much just died or got hurt. One thing I know is that no matter how hard you try you can't forget. On the other hand the book tought me alot of things and I'm looking forward to read some more books like that growing up. Hey who knows I might right a book like that one day.

But when no one was there for him, he felt that everyone had turned that back on him. So he ended his life. I probably would have did the same thing if I was in his place
