Don't Kill the Birthday Girl: Tales from an Allergic Life

Clueless

Everybody is saying this is a good book and some say it is bad.You should have your own opinion.It is about a girl that has allergies.How do you think it is?

Recommended for food allergy sufferers!

I was immediately drawn to this book because I myself suffer from food allergies. Not only does Sandra give you details into her life regarding the hardships she has faced, but she also provides very knowledgable information to readers who may not understand just how severe food allergies can be. I felt very connected to the story, especially when she mentioned how she had to always wear the perfect size purse to house her epi pen, inhaler, and benadryl. She has shown that even though people can suffer from food allergies, they can still lead normal lives.

Kritters Ramblings

As I am the girl with no allergies, other than the occasional red bumps on the legs from a picnic in the grass, I am that skeptic that thinks that the world is overreacting and too accommodating to those who have allergies. After reading this book, I am a little more empathetic but also don't think our schools need to go to the drastic measures that they sometimes do.

A memoir that takes place right around the corner from where I live, in Arlington, VA with a little girl who is growing up with a long laundry list of allergies to many food groups. As the title suggests, many traditions and events revolve around food where a child with allergies may feel left out because they can not partake in the complete ritual due to an allergy to one food group or another.

A book that I would definitely recommend as a great memoir that may open your minds to how families must cope if a child or parent has any kind of food allergy or illness that may limit the foods that they may eat.

A must read!

This book is a must read if someone in your life suffers from allergies. I've had allergies (both food and environmental) since I was 11 months old; this book does a wonderful job of explaining how I felt growing up and the challenges of living with allergies. I also found myself laughing out loud when the author shared some of her stories -- it felt great to know that I'm not the only one experiencing these feelings and challenges.

I can can relate

As a allergenic I can soooooo relate to this book one thing though I only have a peanut allergy: ) but i thought it was a great book :)

Waste of money

I really disliked this book and could not even finish it.
