Finished Death Be Not Proud

Death Be Not Proud was not the longest book I've ever read, but it was still a great book. One of the things I enjoyed about the book was that it was full of suspenseful moments. There would be moments where the family was waiting for test results, or during surgery. Every time another doctor walked in, it makes the reader think something bad is going to happen. Even though the book wasn't THAT suspenseful, it was a nice touch. I knew how the book was going to end, but the character changed so suddenly, and then the book was over.

I thought it was interesting that this was a true story because it seemed like something that would be in a movie, or a fiction book. It was so unreal. The technology we have today is so advanced compared to what they have to use in the book. Sometimes I would want them to use some kind of easy surgery but I have to remember that they don't have the technology to do what we do today. I would recommend this book to someone who likes to learn about the journey of someone with a life threatening condition, or just anyone who wants to read about Johnny's story.

The next book I am going to read is going to be Divergent. I have already seen the movie, but I haven't read the book and everyone says it's better than the movie. I don't usually read distopian novels, but my sister does, so she has a ton of them. I'm excited to see what they did differently in the movie, and what I think they should have done. Overall I'm excited to read this book, partially because I can't read anymore non-fiction for a while.
