I love this book! I thought it was really captivating. I love how Kim ( her best friend ) refuses to believe she'll die and also refuses to cry about it. She has a strong character, and she's my favorite character. I also love how Adam still loves her and doesn't give up hope that she won't die no matter what. I really thin that they should make this into a movie! Its a really good book and I love how the character flashes back on her life.

Love it! I couldn't put it down wone i started reading it. I wasn't happy with the ending, Cuz it left me wanting more! But they came out with a 2nd book just waiting to read it!

I loved this book. My mother and I read it, and there was only one small issue. Where Mia and her boyfriend are 'playing' eachother.

good book some violence during the car crash but nothing you won't see on tv. There is a sence where mia and her boyfriend have sex but it's not too graphic. Overall it's a pretty good book i don't know if i would read it again but it's definatly not the worstbook I have ever read.

I LOVED this book! I love how Mia is such a diligent and hard working musician. I adore the love she has for her family and for Adam and her friendship for Kim. I like how hard Adam works to see her! Then she gets better and goes to Juliard. it's so emotional and the twists and turns are so interesting. I Loved it! I just finished it. I can't wait to go buy the sequel!

this a beautiful but sad story. mia is so human and the whole concept of life and death is amazing. the point of view is so unique and the book reads almost like poetry. the car accident scene is pretty gruesome, but it all ties in with the whole theme of the story, almost reminiscent of the lovely bones (also an amazing book!) love,music,and loss is everything the book is about. mia and her boyfriend engage in sexual acts but instead of the usual ways authors depict these scenes, the characters seem more mature about it and it comes out beautiful (not graphic at all!) i reccomend this book for people who enjoy very heartwrenching and emotional stories

I read this book when I was 11 and I absolutely ADORED it! I think you rate it too high here.. There really isn't that much sex or consumerism. I think that if you are pretty mature at age of 11 or even 10, there is nothing wrong with reading this book.

I read this when I was 13 and thought It was a fine book (not my favorite but still pretty good). There are some racy scenes but not too bad. The entire is story is very sad and fairly distrubing. I would say at the youngest a very mature 13 could read this.

LOVE IT AND U GUY OVER RATE THIS STUFF THIS COULD BE APPROPIATE FOR 12 YEAR OLDS YOU GUY OVER EXAMIN THIS STUFF BECAUSE MY 11 YEAR OLD READ THIS !!!
