I cried when I found out all of Mia's family died accept her. Overall, I loved the book.

Oh definitely. Also when her grandpa cried over her. I thought the whole book was a very interesting look behind the veil of trauma. It just made me think about sickness and coma's differently. The idea that they can still hear you when you're talking to them has always been a mystery I feel like, and I liked that idea better than thinking they're already gone. Very interesting and thought provoking read.

I really liked the book. I hate when books end abruptly but I was super eager to pick up the 2nd one because of the ending

I think I found Gramps crying over her the saddest part. I was sitting next to my boyfriend discreetly wiping tears away so he wouldn't notice I was crying! When she realised Teddy was gone too was so sad.

Over all, I liked the book, read it last night in one sitting, so it couldn't have been too bad, there were a one or two things that got me, like the bands name "Shooting Star"just seemed too fictional and made me disbelieve that story line a little. And the kerfuffle in the hospital with Brooke Vega was reaching a little.

I think I will probably read the next one because I want to find out what happens.

It held my attention but I agree the hospital scene with Brooke was unrealistic. I didn't cry, not sure why. I thought the portrait of the family was very well done.

OMG this book is so sad it made me cry so much... I have never read a book so sad. The only thing I did learn from this series is to cherish every moment!

In general I dislike the premise of people leaving their bodies and telling stories. In fact that was something that bothered me a lot about other books, espeically The Lovely Bones. However, I felt that this book was well told despite the premise and I feel that the author used music in a really cool way. Sound is an important sense that is sometimes difficult to caputure in books. For example, no matter how many times people sing in Lord of the Rings it still feels like poetry in my head. But Beethoven, I can listen to that, and dig that as part of the book.
