Great book, I really enjoyed reading it.

I read this book, Blood Brothers, for my school's summer reading program, and I absolutely loved it. I am not generally someone who loves to read, because I get bored with most books so quickly, but this book kept me interested all the way to the end. The author did a great job creating the characters, their personalities, and their lives. There was a lot of action, suspense, and detail involved, and I felt like I was right there with the characters through the whole book. There is some language and content(swearing, etc.) that I think the author could have easily replaced with better choices, but it wasn't too inappropriate and I just kind of overlooked it. Aside from that, the book is easy to follow and understand. I like the overall theme of the book, and the close friendship shown between the characters. I think the book would be a little "easy" for adults, but not necessarily appropriate for middle schoolers and younger, so I would recommend it for older teens in high school. I really enjoyed reading this book and would not hesitate to recommend it to other teens or read it again in the future.

Amazing Book Ever

Chapter 26, was my favorite chapter in the book Blood Brothers by S.A. Harazin. I was really shocked when I found out who killed Joey, the 16- year-old main charactor. Joey had his whole life ahead of him until one party. Clay was the narrator of the story and also Joey's best friend. What happened to Joey was a total shock to Clay. He never thought that such a horrific thing could happen to his best friend. Clay worked in a hospital and saw some really tragic cases but never imagined himself involved in one on a personal level.

The age group that is appropriate for this book is 16 and up. It has some strong words and it deals with drugs. There are parts that are so intense and emotional that would not be right for children. It is like a real life lesson to anyone because you could put yourself in the same place and feel disoriented and scared beyond belief just like Joey felt. I put myself into his place and was saying how I could prevented that from happening to me.

Blood Brothers was one of the most fantastic books I have ever read. The book made me really frustrated at times and I felt like I just want to hurt someone because of the stupidity of what happened. I cried at the end because it made me feel like anything could go wrong if you`re not careful. This book made me realize that anything could happen in life, maybe not to you, but your best friend or a family member. Take life as it comes because you`ll never know what will hit you next.

In BLOOD BROTHERS, S. A. Harazin combines many "teens will love it" elements sure to be a success for the young adult crowd.

Clay and Joey are best friends, even though their lives are quite different. Clay's mother died when he was just a baby, and while he lives with his dad, there's not much interaction between them. He pretty much fends for himself. Joey, on the other hand, has a great family, gets good grades, and has a terrific future ahead of him.

One night Joey calls Clay. It is obvious that Joey is not himself. He sounds confused and angry, possibly drunk. When Clay arrives, Joey flies into a mad rage, and while attempting to calm Joey and protect himself, Clay shoves Joey. The incident ends in a 911 call with Joey ending up in the hospital in a coma.

Clay works as a nurses' assistant at the hospital and knows just how bad things look for his friend. The personal guilt combined with the hostility he feels from his best friend's parents make Clay determined to investigate exactly what happened to Joey that night. There was some sort of party. Was Joey really just drunk or was it drugs? And if so, what kind of drugs and where did he get them?

Readers are taken along on the wild ride as Clay tries to solve the mystery, do what he can to keep his friend comfortable, and hang on to his own job. Teens will appreciate that S. A. Harazin writes on a realistic level and doesn't try to baby them. The direct, honest approach will attract teen readers and have them recommending this one to their friends.

A beautiful and heart-gripping story.

This book was trully an amazing novel filled with both a mystery and heartbreaking story to tell. Clay finds himself torn between feelings as his best friend Joey is put in the hospital with a mystery surrounding his condition. This story leaves you will a sense of suspense and sadness with each turn of the page. I highly recommend it.

Blood Brothers

This was a good book with a sad conclusion to an even sader plot line. You really feel the main character Clay's pain. I couldn't stand to lose a best friend like that. Especially when you least expect it. This book was very good and an easy read I would highly recommend reading it.

Really Moved Me

While I'm a bit squeamish when it comes to hospital stuff, I soon forgot that and became completely involved with Harazin's characters in her wonderful novel BLOOD BROTHERS. Her main character, Clay, is such a touching and vulnerable kid. I rooted for him, and ached for him and cried my eyes out. I highly recommend this ultimately uplifting tale!
