Life Hardcover – October 4, 2008

I put this book on my kindle because it was free and looked interesting. I flew through reading the book. I think it is because the way it is written is unique. It is kind of like reality TV in book form. I continued to read thinking that something shocking was going to happen. It really never did though, but it kept me interested enough that I continuted reading in hopes of something amazing. It is not a book I would read again for sure, but something kept me interested. It is about a boy writing about his relationship with a girl. I think mainly I kept reading because I wanted to know if they ended up together as adults. I think I was a little disappointed because I never really knew for sure. It felt like it lacked closure to me. I understand why you never really know because the author explains it in the book, but it still just left me feeling left hanging. I wouldn't really recommend the book with such other great books out there to delve into. Not to mention I was shocked by the things the girl said in the book, and I did not even realize this book was for younger readers until reading some of the other reviews. definitely inappropriate for young readers in my opinion.

Not a favorite, but it is okay

I loved this book the whole Israel thought loved the idea behind it and his meaning of it towards his love for her.

I did not enjoy this book. It did not keep me enthralled.

Quick read but well written. Really enjoyed the novel! Characters were interesting and real. Great to hear from different points of view. Hope to see more from this author

4 stars because excellent but a few technical/grammatical errors. A story of a tumultuous, enduring, and beautiful, loving and overcoming relationship

I tried. I did make to 34% before I gave up and deleted the book from my library. Honestly, If Kindle had not preserved my place, I would not have been able to tell one page from another. Too repetitive, too flip-floppy.Not sure what genre this goes in: definitely not children or young teen due to sexual references; not adult because it's boring. I think it's best in file 13. Even for free, it was not worth my time to read.

I was excited to read the book based on the reviews. I would like to start this off by stating I did appreciate the writing style of this book. The back and forth discussion type of quality was refreshing. I made it almost to the end of the book before I deleted it from my library completely. I am appalled that this book is considered a childrens ebook. The book focuses on two teens who haven't had sex yet but plan on it. The couple's relationship is all about being intimate without actuallly having sex. Sleeping nude together; taking showers together; talking about it all the time. I would never let my teenager read this for fear of them getting ideas. Call me old fashion but I don't believe teens should be experimenting with each other as this book suggests. If you have high morals, stay away from this book and don't let your kids near it.

Christine is a manipulative snake who exploited the whole abusive period just so she could get a rise out of Jack. Plus, her jealousy over Melinda, and the way she blamed Jack for her promiscuity when he hung out with Melinda, was the epitome of insecurity and bitchiness. Jack's infatuation is completely indecipherable - I comprehend stalkers' obsession for their victims far more than his for Christine.The book was well-written, and i loved that other people contributed their viewpoints, but the fact that a decent, moral, and actually interesting man dedicated every single piece of his existence to a vile, nondescript whore left this reader with a significantly diminished faith in humanity. Jack, keep up the writing, but seriously, ditch Christine and move on.

Found novel to long and repetitive, layout good and easy to read· However found myself wanting novel to end. Was not a read that I could not put down but easy to fall back into the plot.
