I really really enjoyed this book. Alex was such a delightful main character and his relationship to mr Peterson was so heartwarming. You would think that so many bad things can’t happen to one person and that this book is unrealistic but I think that this made the book even more realistic.

What a beautiful, beautiful book. It's been a while since a story has affected me so much (and in 'affected' I mean "made me cry my eyes out"). This story turned out to be so much nore than I expected it to be when I started reading it. I certainly didn't expect it to be as deep and meaningful as it is. It gave me much to think about and encouraged me to make up my mind about a topic that is really controversial: Assisted suicide. When I started reading I had no idea this was going to be an important topic. But I'm glad it was, I really am. However this is not a story just about assisted suicide, it is about so much more. It is about life, chance, friendship. It's about being different, finding your place and your way in this world. It's really worth your time and I think EVERYBODY should read it.
