I loved this book because I like books that make me feel amazing. I also like books that make me feel good. I also like books that make me feel great . I think that you should read this book!
I didn't like Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes because it was a sad story. I didn't like the part when she had a kind of illness and when she died. But the great part was when she wanted to go to the race. I would recommend this book, I would because then people can feel how sad it is.
Soo sad. My reading group at school read it all together. We loved it and we took the challenge for making a thousand paper cranes. We were about to send it to Hiroshima peace park, but ended up not. :-(
This book is so sad! I had to read this book for school and i thought it was so sad when i finished it. This book is based on a true story so whenever you read this make sure to have tissues. This book is about a girl named Sadako, she gets leukimia and tries her best to keep fighting hard. When her family and friends come to visit her, one of her friends thinks of an idea to make a thousand paper cranes because that brings good luck. So Sadako and her start making paper cranes.... I recommend this book for people who want to read a sad book.
I hate the ending! It's just so sad! She doesn't deserve to die! I can't believe the aouthor had to end the story with like, "She closed her eyes and never woke up again," something like that.
i love this book. but i almost cried in the end
THIS BOOKS IS FULL WITH ACTION. IT STARTS WITH A BOMB HITING SADAKO'S HOUSE. SADAKO BREATS IN THE SMOKE AND GETS SICK. SHE ALWAYS FELLT WEARD ALL THE TIME. SHE THEN PASES AWAY.
thank you, sir or ma'am, for ruining the book for all of us... Lol, JK :D
A very powerful and moving book that wil make you think about the world that is out there and what other people go through but still make there life worthwhile. A fantastic book and one of my most favorite!
