Product Description
My name is Sam. I am eleven years old. I collect stories and fantastic facts. By the time you read this, I will probably be dead. Sam loves facts. He wants to know about UFOs and horror movies and airships and ghosts and scientists, and how it feels to kiss a girl. And because he has leukaemia he wants to know the facts about dying. Sam needs answers to the questions nobody will answer. WAYS TO LIVE FOREVER is the first novel from an extraordinarily talented young writer. Funny and honest, it is one of the most powerful and uplifting books you will ever read.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   12 of 13 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Everyone should read this!, 6 Mar 2008 By  Ms. Alice J. Swan (London, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    I read this book in one sitting whilst waiting for a visa in the Ugandan Embassy: I was so engrossed and had eyes so full of tears that I failed to notice when my ticket number was called, despite the 4 hour wait. Ways to Live Forever is one of the most honest books I have ever read - it is hard to remember that it is a work of fiction when the characters seem so real. Sam is dying of leukaemia yet somehow his story is neither tragic nor sentimental. As an 11-year-old, Sam is keen to find out as much about death as he can: his list of Questions Nobody Will Answer is testimony to how uncomfortable the subject is for the adults in Sam's life. Yet Sam is practical, and curious about his fate, and determined not to waste any of the time he has left. This book takes a taboo subject and shines a bright light straight at it: if a death is imminent, then don't try and pretend it won't happen. Ways to Live Forever is funny in a way that will make you repeatedly laugh out loud, uplifting and extraordinarily powerful. Sally Nicholls has a rare talent. I loved this book and would recommend it to anyone. Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

Non "GinReaper" (Norfolk, UK) - See all my reviews This story is the diary/school project of Sam, a boy dying of leukaemia. Once started, I lost two mornings (at work!) reading this. It is suggested reading for young teenagers but I am over 30 and well enjoyed it. I found this book sympathetic (in a boyish kind of way) and surprisingly funny. Really, really good.

Murray Hill (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    This is a novel which you might think will be heartbreaking but it's uplifting, insightful, funny and feels absolutely true. Although it's a children's book, I'm sure this would be enjoyed by readers of all ages. Sam's story is profound and moving because it is told very simply; Sally Nicholls genuinely does not hit a single wrong note. I've made a list of people I want to give it to. Buy it now for someone you like! Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
