I work at a college comprised largely of the "at risk" students you're talking about. While many of them claim not to like to read, I really want to start a book club to bring more of us together and maybe motivate some of my reluctant readers. I think that sense of community can make all the difference.Andihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05220718933942181809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-53062644428747421772010-09-24T09:20:08.779-04:002010-09-24T09:20:08.779-04:00Wow--this post gives me chills.

I was angered by Hannah's ultimate decision but had hoped that if nothing else this book would help others--and your story is a testament to that.

I had some issues with understanding suicide as a teenager and I think a book like this would have helped me, and many other teens. <br /><br />Melissa: It really hits the depths of suicide and death. It is not a happy and uplifting book, but did hold a lot of hope. <br /><br />Cariitoo: I'm glad you're going to read this one-its wonderful!<br /><br />aebither: I haven't read that title, but I'll add it to the list!<br /><br />Melody: Thank you! It is a good one!<br /><br />Amanda: I think I saw your review about this one. It really is a powerful little novel.<br /><br />kenpen: Thank you. It makes me miss teaching.<br /><br />thefriande: It IS a pretty heavy book. It really sits with you for a long time after your finish it.<br /><br />Jillian: When I read that last section, I had to set the book aside and go get a hug. It was so dark and deep that I needed a little assurance of who I was, know what I mean?Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18420476898132383974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-72743513848902575332010-09-23T22:10:33.736-04:002010-09-23T22:10:33.736-04:00Wow.

I've waited to read it because I know it is powerful and will effect me emotionally. It is awesome that this book helped you reach someone that would not have been reached otherwise.
