I'll Be Seeing You is one of the greatest books I've ever read! It not only was a great book but it had a good moral to it. It doesn't matter what you look like on the outside, God looks at the heart--it's what's inside that counts. I think all her books are great and I would really recommend her books to anyone and everyone!

This is just one of many great books written by Lurlene McDaniel. It is the story of a girl named Carley who meets a guy named Kyle at the hospital, and they become close friends. Carley's in the hospital because her leg got infected after she broke it. There is problem: Kyle is very cute, but he is temporarily blind due to a chemisty experiment gone bad. Therefore, he cannot see that Carley has a facial deformity. Carley is afraid that once Kyle's bandages are removed from his eyes, he won't like her anymore. I won't give anymore away, because you should go out and buy this book and read it yourself! I promise that you will not regret it!

I loved this book! I've never thought I was pretty, but Lurlene McDaniel's books makes me feel that I should be thankful for what I have. I am healthy and have no disabilities. And it doesn't matter if you are pretty or ugly, it's how you are inside. When people used to say that before, I was like,"Yeah right!" Now, thanks to Lurlene McDaniel, I believe that. I'm trying not to put myself down as much, because I know that there are people out there that would love to be like me, and have a "normal" life. Thank you Lurlene McDaniel!

I like this book as it is very inspiring to me, and also very informitive to people about the way they automatically treat people who are different. I'm almost 15, and legally blind. I also have breathing problems and slight hearing loss due to an illness shortly after my mother got preganate, and I have developed a limp over the years. I know what it is like to be stared at, but you learn to live with it. But I believe the more people learn, the less they'll tease kids who are different, and more see that they are kids, just like them.

If you have ever felt like you are not pretty, then read this book. It is about a young girl who thought she was ugly. Then she meets a boy who falls for the real her. I loved this book. It remined me that being pretty isnt the most important thing in the world.

I bought this book because there was a page about it at the back of one of Lurlene's other books I was reading. It looked good, so I bought it. I was right;this book was sooooo good!

Carley, a sophmore, is in the hospital with a broken leg. At 16, she's had her fair share of hospitals. When she was 12, she started having terrible head aches, and was diagnosed with a brain tumor. The doctors had to operate immediatly to remove the tumor. The operation left permanent scars. In order to remover the tumor, doctor's had to semi-mutilate the left side of her face. People are mean to Carley at school, but she's learned to deal with this through her sense of humor.

While at the hospital, Karl gets checked in. All Carley knows about him is that he's a seventeen year old junior in the same city she lives in. She know she has no chance with him though, becaue of her face. She wanders into her room one night when she can't sleep, and discovers he's temporarily blind. A rocket experiment blew up in his face, and he may never see again. Carley takes an instant liking to him, and he takes an instant linking to her. He doesn't know about her face though. And if Carley gets her way, he never will. Karl treats her like a regular girl, a pretty girl, which no one ever has before. She finds herself falling for Karl.

When it seems like Karl may get his sight back, Carley's scared. Once he sees her face, he'll never want to speak to her again. She doen't know what to do.

Personally, I think alot of Lurlene McDaniel's books are just the same plot with different characters, but this one was different. What I really hate is when she has a good idea, but then ruins it. Like in "Sixteen and Dying", I think it would have been way better if Jesse and Ann had has a serious relationship before she left the ranch. And she should have written more about Lacey and Jeff in the One Last Wish series. Oh, and she ruins most books will terrible sequels! Like why did April have to die, and fall in love so soon after Mark's death? And why did Dawn Rochelle have to get a stroke. And Melissa shouldn't have died in the sequel. Is she just too afraid to have a, gasp!, happy ending?

The other Lurlene McDaniel books that I like are THE ANGLES TRILOGY; DON'T DIE, MY LOVE; TILL DEATH TO US PART; TELLING CHRISTINA GOODBYE; and all 3 ANGELS IN PINK books. You should read all those after you read "I'll be seeing you".

This book was very good. It can teach you to ot care about what is on the outside, but to care about what's on the inside. This is one of the best books I've ever read.

I read this book when I was in high school, which was years ago, but.. I still read it and now I am 22 years old.. The story is about a young girl whose half of her face is scared, and goes into the hospital due to a broken leg, and while she is there, she meets a boy, who had an accident with some science project, and it blew up, and he was blinded. While they both were in the hospital, Carly (the girl) helped Kyle (the boy) get to know himself, and how not to judge people.. All along did he not know about her scares.. She hid it from him because kids at school treated her like a freak and she just wanted a friend.. Things get hot between them, and they both left the hospital, but... Kyle wants to see Carly afterwords.. How things work out, you will have to read.. LOL.. The reason I am writing a review on this book is because I was born with a birth defect called clift lip and the kids were all mean and I felt like an outcast, but this book really showed me that there are kind people out there who are willing to take a chance.. My only hope is that, They give us a chance before anything.. If that makes sense.. I have also read many of Lurlene McDaniel's other books that I collected over the past years and each story is different and relates to you, and I believe Lurlene has a special gift on how she is able to understand what each and everyone goes through.. I am sure she has help but its her words that says it all. Im gratefull for authors who take the time, and put faith, hope and love into their books. You should all read this book, and put urself into Carly shoes.. How would you feel if that was you... being made fun of... I am sure each and every person was mean to someone who was just different in grade school and on up... Hope you pick up this book and read it =)

This is one of the best books that Lurlene McDaniel has ever written!!

This is a story about a girl named Carley, who as a child had a tumor in her face. She had to get it surgically removed and that left one side of her face deformed. No plastic surgery could fix it. Then she breaks her leg and an infection has entered her leg. So she's staying at the hospital and befriends Reba, a girl who is stuck in a wheelchair for the rest of her life. They become friends, then Kyle moves in next-door. Kyle is a senior at a local highschool who was left blind after a rocket ship experiment went wrong. Carley becomes friends with him and they soon develop feelings for eachother. Carley is torn between staying anonymous about her looks and telling him the truth.

This was a moving story and taught me to always be truthful from the start, because things can get pretty messy after a lot of lies.

I absolutely love this book. This is one of the later books I read by Lurlene, but I really loved it. The way everything in the book is should make everyone today in modern life look at the way it's supposed to be. In this book, a young teenage girl who has a facial disfiguration who is in the hospital and meets a teenage boy who lives near her who has lost his site in an accident with unproperly used chemicals and they fall in love, with him not even knowing if she has outer beauty, only looking knowing about her inner beauty. Her physical state didn't matter to him even when he gained his site back because he'd fallen in love with her. That is how I think love should be. I dont' think that people should look on the outside, much like they do now, but at what's on the inside. When you are making friends you don't really look on the outside, why should you when you are looking for a boyfriend or girlfriend? This whole point makes the book one of the best I've ever read and I would suggest to anyone who absolutely loves the meaning of true love to read this book.
