Somebody Up There Hates You
“Everybody dies, dudes and dudettes.” This is a quote that was mentioned by Hollis Seamon in the teen fiction book she wrote, Somebody Up There Hates You. This quote really connects to mostly the whole moral of the story. We all one day are not going to be here, and it just makes you realize that everyday of your life should be lived to the fullest because you never know when it’s going to be the last day for you. Now let me ask you this... If you knew you were on the path of dying really soon, what would you decide to do before it would all be over for you? If you don’t know the answer to this, this is what a fifteen year old boy named Richard “Richie” Casey did.
Lived life. Those were the two words Richard lived up to. He’s living in a hospice in upstate New York. This is because he was diagnosed with terminal cancer or Somebody Up There Hates You Sydrome (SUTHY), as he calls it. They told him that his way to passing away was coming soon. As he started being in the hospice for more time, he started to meet this girl, Sylvie. She was in the hospice for the same reason as Richie. After a while, they start to fall for each other and start dating. As the plot starts developing, he starts getting more courage and getting stronger. He starts to live life like if nothing is wrong with him. He ignores all the obstacles and limitations he has and lives up to what normal teens do. Trying new things and making his life live to the fullest.
I’d recommend this book, but only for people that could handle some mature adult content. Yes, this book includes mature things that we may not be used to reading, but it’s a great book that shows much determination to live life and love it. We sometimes may feel like our life is over. It’s not over until it really is over, you have to keep going and do what you do to make the best out of your life. If you’d like to read this book, check and ask your teacher or your school library or nearest public library to see if they may have this book.
