Lurlene McDaniel. A fantastic author of many teenage books. What do you think of her?
A few good books are:
~Baby Alicia's Dying.
~Saving Jessica.
~Till' Death Do Us Part.
Although I think she should concentrate on happy things as well as bad things, she does a very good job. I love her books and I can't get enough of them. Do any of you like her also??

Omigod... *goes down memory lane* I remember reading those books when I was your age(yah I'm old  ). They made me cry EVERY TIME. A few more great titles by her: Don't Die, My LoveSix Months To LiveAngels Watching Over MeShe Died Too YoungI'll Be Seeing You*begins to cry* Sorry, they do that to me! |

i find her books pretty predictable and kinda cheesy but when i'm in the mood for that kind of light reading i enjoy them. i can read one in an hour and a half though so they're a nice alternative to watching tv. i recently read StarryStarry Night and it was pretty good. i'd recommend it if you like her books.

I think her books are kind of depressing. I like books to take me away to fantasy lands... I don't enjoy just concentrating on death and the like. I'm thinking about my own stupid, insignifigant problems. Besides, there's enough death in the world, I don't really think she needs to devote her time to writing about fictional death. I have one of her books (the one with the Amish guy...). It was pretty good, I'm not denying her ability to write, but I just wish she would expand her horizons a little; I can guarantee she would attract more readers if she offered a variety.

I used to read those books in Jr. High. I really liked them, but they were pretty sad. When I was in the mood to get really emotional I would read them. I recommend them, but if you don't like one, you probably won't like all of them.

I didn't like her books... Well, I only read one, but after that I didn't want to read any other books she wrote anymore since they're all about the same subject. I just thought the book I read was sort of unrealistic and superfacial, although it was about a serious subject (cancer). I didn't think it was very well written either... but that's just me. ~*Esther*~  |

I've read a couple of her books, though I don't remember what their titles are at this moment...I agree with Larigirl they are cheesy and predictable but a good light read.

She has good books. The ones I like are: Don't Die, My Love, Saving Jessica, Till Death Do Us Part, For Better For Worse Forever, Time to Let Go, and Goodbye Doesn't Mean Forever. Though I wish that she would make them more challenging to read. I can read one in about an hour and a half. So sad too. The only book so far that I remember that had a good ending was Saving Jessica.

isn't she the one who writes one last wish: mother help me live were the girl finds out that she's adopted and then she's dying of bone marrow cancer and the only hope is to find her mother to get her to help her? i found that book on my shelf the other day. i read that like 4 times on summer!!
