IF THE SPIRIT MOVES YOU

I have just read a book called “IF THE SPIRIT MOVES YOU “. I enjoyed it so much because if you have lost someone special in your life just like Justine did you know how she feel.

Justine Picardie is my favourite character because of the way that she was telling the story. I have lost someone special just like her. She told us how she was feeling all the time. I was feeling that l was her.             

I don't have a favourite episode of the story because all the episode in the book was my favourite. Justine wrote down how she was feeling all the time , you felt that you were next to her but not just how she felt but how everyone else was feeling. One things that was good at the beginning of the book was about her sister and what she was like before she died and what she thought about her heath. Her sister told Justine and her family not to get sad because she was going to die. I was thinking how good that was, because you do get sad when you hear someone in your family has died, but you don’t think about being happy after losing sometime.                                       

One thing that interests me when l was reading the book was that Justine's husband was not there for her after her sister died you wouldn't  think that he doesn't care about her. Justine's mum and dad don't like each other so it was hard for Justine to talk to them. I think that is why she wrote this book. What was interesting was Justine's sister and how she felt about everything. I don’t think she cared that she was dying just as long as her family was ok.

A difficult subject to comment on, and it's obvious you've really got into this book.
