i read this book in the 6th grade. I've always been a fan of reading but this is the first book that has ever made me cry. I could read this book everyday all day if I had to. it is an amazing book.A quick, easy read, but one of my all- time favorites. Within the first few pages, the author tells you that Jimmy is going to die an untimely death. Yet, I have read this book over and over, hoping that the outcome will change! It is a heart-wrenching story of best friendships and tragic loss and how both things truly change a person. I am no literary critic, so the writing might be terrible, but all I know is that you fall in love with the characters and feel for them every page of the way. I
I read this book over and over and over when I was in 9th grade!! I loved it so much I named my daughter after the main character, Morgan!
I read this book for the first time in the 8th grade. I went to the library and checked it out every year for about 10 years. I cried like a baby every time I read it. Now I own "Say Goodnight Gracie" and I still read it from time to time. Maybe for nostalgic reasons...but it's been one of my favorites for years.
I read this book when I was in Middle School. I'm not going to lie. I cried towards the end when that very sad event happened. (This is me trying to not include spoilers.) I've read a lot of books in my lifetime, and it really speaks volumes when I am able to remember one of them. (I don't have the best memory.) For some reason, I have never forgotten Say Goodnight, Gracie. This story has stuck with me like few stories have. I deeply recommend that you enjoy this novel as well.
Though I haven't read this book in ages, I remember feeling attached to this book for years. It was my favorite book for the longest time growing up, and always be at the top of my list. This story brings you into the shear pain of losing the one person who truly understood you and loved you for you. I recommend this book to all.
I read this book when I was in the 5th grade, and even after 14 years I still remember this as one of my favorite books. I only read it the one time, so I don't remember all the details of the book. I cannot tell you how well it was written, but I remember being so connected to the story that it had me in tears. One of those books that make you sad when its over. I have books like this, that I read as a child, to thank for my love of getting lost in the story of a book.
