My favorite book that I have read so far would have to be the Burn Journals by Brent Runyon.

It is a true story about a 14 year old boy who is not happy with his life. He used to be good in school when he was in a gifted program, but ever since he quit he has been getting bad grades. He did something bad that was about to get him expelled when he decided that he didn't want to live his life anymore. He set himself on fire, sure that he was going to suceed in suicide this time since all the times before he failed. 85 percent of his body was burnt. He ended up living and he sees how much life is really precious and will discover how impotant life is.


I loved this book mostly because it was true and the man who wrote it wanted to share his amazing life threatening experiance with the world. I also liked it because it gave me insite on how people feel when they want to end their lives.


This is a great book and I recommend it.

This book sounds like it is very touching!Maybe I'll have to read it.Although I would probably get very sad knowing they wanted to take their own life.
