WORST BOOK EVER. About some kid who spent time at Michael Jackson’s magic ranch & then caught something. AIDS sucks & I feel sorry for all the victims, but this books sucks more.
Rating: 1 / 5
this book was a solid read about a boy and his family dealing with AIDS and the ignorance surrounding them.it was touching that people such as Elton John,Michael Jackson,REV.Jessie Jackson and others came to the support of Ryan White&his mother.he was a warrior in a zone of hate.a very deep book and sad as well.

THIS BOOK IS A SAD BUT GREAT STORY ABOUT ONE OF THE MOST COURAGEOUS TEENAGERS THAT HAS EVER LIVED. HE NEVER GAVE UP HOPE FOR LIFE. HE WENT THROUGH A LOT OF THINGS IN KOKOMO, INDIANA BUT, HE JUST TURNED THE OTHER CHEEK FROM IT. FINALLY THEY MOVED FROM KOKOMO TO CICERO,INDIANA. HE WAS WELCOMED WITH OPEN ARMS. NOBODY WAS SCARED OF HIM THERE. HE MADE A LOT OF FRIENDS THERE. I THINK HIS BEST FRIEND WAS MICHAEL JACKSON. HE LOVED ELTON JOHN A LOT BUT MMICHAEL AND RYAN WERE CLOSER. HE ENDS UP HAVING TO BE PUT BACK IN THE HOSPITAL AND HE ENDS UP DYING ON APRIL 8, 1990. I THINK EVERYONE WHO HAS AIDS NEEDS TO READ THIS BEACUSE IT WILL GIVE YOU HOPE TOO.

It is so sad that Ryan white died so soon. If you have not heard of him, this is a must read book.

This book is a wonderful piece written about an inspiring young man growing up in an intolerant society. The Ryan White story Chronicles the life of a brave young AIDs patient. It details his struggle to go to school and be treated with the respect and dignity that he deserved.It’s a wonderful book well worth the time, a fairly simple but heart-felt read. I would recommend this book to anyone but mainly to those of you who are finding yourselves intolerant of world problems.
