Death Be Not Proud

This book is about a teenage boy who finds that he has a tumor on his brain.  This book is about his struggles and his courage.  It is very touching and conveys the feeling of not giving up.  This book is a great read and is very interesting. I would recommend it for almost anyone.  Rebecca L.

This is an inspiring book that makes you want to live every day like it is your last.  It is about a seventeen-year-old who died when he was seventeen and it is a memoir written by his father.  Katy C.

I liked this book a lot because it shows how valuable life is. This story is about a young boy who develops a tumor in his brain.  He only has a few months to live and it tells about his father's feelings.  The one thing I disliked was that it was kind of hard to follow because of the medical terms and at some points it was dull.
