Ways to Live Forever Audiobook

" It's a really sad book but it's worth reading! "

" An 11-year-old dying of leukemia... written in a perfect 11-year-old voice and tackling all of the questions we don't want to think children are thinking about when they know we are dying. It was heart-breaking, but worth reading. "

" this book was so absolutely perfect and heartbreaking and thinking about it now puts a lump in my throat. Gah!! "

" Ways to Live Forever is a very tragic story in so many ways. The main thing that I really enjoyed about the book is that the way Sam, the main character in the story, describes his ways to live forever in many different lists. I thought that this was a much more fun way to read the book! I had a mix of emotions whilst reading this book, from crying to laughing! "

" This one's a tear-jerker. But in a very good sense. It does not deceive you, nor does it try too hard to be sappy or uplifting. It feels real, only slightly heart-wrenching, and totally moving. I am pleased with how the whole thing was wrapped up, with just the right pacing. The design of journal entries, fact sheets, drawings, lists, etc. fits the character and the events in the story very nicely, as well. Not entirely sure about the cover: seems too muted for a very lively book dealing with death. "

" This book was amazing! I couldn't put it down and I've re-read it so many times. "

" Written in such a matter-of-fact way, which, if anything, adds emotion to the book. I definitely teared up at the end! A super book. "

" Beautiful book written for children, suitable for age 10 and up, describing the thoughts and experiences of an 11 year old boy dying of leukaemia. Written with a light hand, suitable for kids, but equally touching and meaningful for adults. "

" Lovely. In the same mould as Wonder, but (obviously) from a UK perspective. Sensitive and beautifully told. "

" Dying kid with cancer.... "

" its so sad and makes you reliease and think alot. "

" A fictional journal of an eleven year old boy dying of cancer. While Sam's vision of being a teenager annoyed me (smoke, drink), I felt that Sam's insights were poignant and I enjoyed this book as much as one can on this subject. "

" Don't be deceived by the apparent simplicity of this book. It is indeed one to touch the heart "

" its really a very nice book i had not fully gone through it but i liked it please can u prefer your ideas of writing book. such as how do u start? "

" A very sweet and inspirational book. I thought it was adorable and a very good book to read. "

" Very impressive. I kept resisting all the recommendations to read this book, but finally gave-in and am glad I did. Really lovely, lovely book. "

" Loved this book. Sad and funny. Will it be good for 4th or 5th graders? Some of my students want to read it, so I'll give it a whirl. "

" Really sad but of course it was going to be. very good book and I'm really glad I read it. "

" I don't frequently give books a 5 star rating and this one definitely deserved it. Loved it, loved it, loved it. Besides the fact that it's set in England, I love the way the author explores all aspects of death and dying. Fulfilling, tender, real and really well written. "

" Felt like what an adult would think a kid would think about dying at 11 - all deep and naive at the same time. Hollow and false notes. "

" A great book about Sam's short life with leukemia. "

" I was hysterical by the time I finished reading, but I could not put this book down. The writing was very insightful. I just hope I never have to use the lessons that I learned from this book. "

" Sweet story about a boy dying of leukemia. Very authentic child-like view of death and dying. It was both heartbreaking and heartwarming, all at the same time. My students love this book, although some have found it difficult to get through. It's just so real, and that can freak them out. "

" Such a beautiful book you connect with the character really well. "

" very cute and sweet, sam is a really good character and it's pretty sad at parts but a little bit predictable.. 5/5 for me because i read it so quick, i just loved it & overall amazing book, worth the read!! "

" NO. I got to admit that I am picky with books, but I would have gave this book 1 star if I really have to. First of all, the narrator of the story, is not strong enough to lure my mind. But yes, the plot is stunning. i'm afraid it's a no to other elements. "

" This is a very well written book. I laughed and I cried. Excellent! "

" It's about a guy who has leukemia. Very good book. "

" This book was amazing because it is about a boy who had cancer and his life. The author portrayed the characters very well. It was funny, sad and happy. The boy is 12yrs old. I've read this book already 2 times and I bought this book 2 weeks ago! "

" this looks cool i think it will teach me how to live cooly "
