My favorite quote in the book would have to be "His family is a web of woman dead and alive with him in the center like a spider driven by different instincts. The reason this is my favorite quote is because i think it shows how Dr. Homero is dealing with so many problems all at one time for ex. how hallie is dead somewhere in nicaragua, Codi is going through all kinds of problems in her life and on top of all that he is slowly dieing and watching his family all go down with him.

MY favorite charector in the book is Loyd. The reason Loyd is my favorite charector is because for one i admire the fact that everything he does is perfect. I also think he is helping Codi with all of her problems and how to handle them. I think that if Codi didnt have Loyd for a boy freind she wouldn't even know how to handle herself and all of her problems. 

I think one of the most important scenes in the book is when Codi is up in the attic after Hallies disappearence and is looking at all of the old photos. I think this is one of the most important scenes because i think this is the turning point in the book and is when Codi really starts to find herself and that she can live on with out Hallie and doesnt need her there for everything she does.
