Answer 3

"A Time For Dancing." It's by Davida Wills Hurwin.
"Few YA dramas deal with the issue of terminal illness as intimately as this gripping first novel, which alternates between the points of view of Juliana, at 16 a gifted dancer, and her "one-and-only" best friend, Samantha. The girls' initial concerns about boyfriends and dance class seem trivial after Jules is diagnosed with histiocytic lymphoma, a deadly form of cancer. Through graphic depictions of what follows?endless sessions of chemotherapy, emergency runs to the hospital and Jules's periodic escapes into a dream state?readers will feel the young victim's weariness as she fights against the body which has betrayed her. They will also experience Sammie's complex responses as she watches her friend embark on a "solo journey" toward death. The dissipation of Jules's hopes, her growing acceptance of the inevitable, and the reactions of peers and family members are hauntingly true to life; they camouflage the less credible episodes (Jules's brilliant performance in a dance concert during the last weeks of her life). Although the subject matter may be too intense for some, others will come away from this book with a deeper respect for mortality."

Answer 4

The best book in the entire world:
I know this much is true, by Wally Lamb.
Absolutley superb. A thousand pages, so not for the faint hearted, but will make you laugh, cry about 10 times, AND has a moral. I've read it about 20 times and am still amazed. Trust me you won't regret it!

Answer 5

Generally speaking, I don't like wasting a whole lot of time on fiction. Some of it can be entertaining at times, but after all, all you're reading is the product of someone else's IMAGINATION.

I greatly prefer reading stuff that is REAL. Biographys are my favorite. Real stuff that happened to REAL people! Based on REALITY.

My very favorite biography EVER was "Running with Bonnie & Clyde", written by the most knowledgeable historian of all, John Neil Phillips. This factual, epic account is mesmerizing from start to finish!!!

Answer 6

James Patterson's "Along Came A Spider" was awesome.
Right now I am reading "Roses are Red" by him as well, which is turning out to be pretty good too. Oh and "A Child Called It" trilogy, those are definitly worth cracking open.
