Sunny, Diary 3 (California Diaries, 12)

Summary: Heart breaking and soul touching
Review: I was full of tears when I finished this book. It is a great book, probably the best California Diary written. The way Sunny handles her mother's death is absoluetly heart wrenching, and very dramatic. I recommend it to any adolescent who hates their parents. It will teach them how upsetting it would be if they were put into Sunny's shoes.

Summary: The best!!
Review: im a great fan of ann martin. SUNNY DIARY#3 was EXTRAORDINARY. it is SOOOOOOOO touching. i think it is the best in the seires. SUNNY is a WONDERFUL. SHE IS A VERY rich charachter. she is ,in her third diary,facing her problems at last. she is so hurt and the reader feels it,it is so HARD to say goodbye or farwell to a person especially if it is your mom. ann has succeeded in going deep through her.the readers tears is a great evidence. im 16 and i see the book is suitable for all ages. anns aim isnt describing sunny s suffering only but i think she wants to tell us how LUCKYwe are. we should VALUE our parents more and stop complaing about our lives. all over the world many people are suffering even more than sunny .the diaries give us HOPE. .even sunny HAS a bright side to look at. She still has her friends . so she will be healed soon. in fact ANN shows sunny that her mom ISNT DEAD. she WILL be always be with her.in her mind. in her heart ,in Sunny herself.i think ann deserves the nobel prize,doesent she?so ahead and read CD#12.

Summary: A MOVING STORY
Review: Okay what's the best thing about this book? It goes into fabulous detail with EVERYTHING which is happening in Sunny's life. Ann M. Martin did a perfect job with this book, it clearly expresses the pain Sunny is suffering. Especially when Mrs. Winslow dies (can you BELIEVE it! ). It's a must read, I say about 8/10 people will cry. This has been the most terrifically written series book I have ever read. Yall, if you don't have enough money to buy a new book. BEG. It's totally worth it. Fantastic work Ann!

Summary: sad but good
Review: snny's third diary wasn't as good as her second and third but it was still well written. i liked her other diaries better because they delt with more issues. there was more storylines involved that made it interessting. in her third book, the center focus was on her mom's dying. mrs. martin seemed to really prolong the death and drag it out. it got to a pont where i was sick of reading about it. i think she should of used half the book on sunny saying goodbye and her mom dying and then the other half on something else. her friends were hardly mentioned, when before they took up a lot of the book. i like hearing about the other character's in the series from each character's perspectives and that was missing from this one. i enjoy hearing what sunny has to say about her friends because she usually has a funny view on them. the book was really sad, though. i cried through the ending and the funeral. afterwards, i was sort of depressed, but i can't say i was surprised. everyone who's followed the series has known that her mom was going to die. out of all the character's, i like sunny the best. despite the fact that she seems like she should be at least 14 or 15 and not 13 (none of the characters act their ages), i think she's the most realistic. dawn is portrayed sort of babyish in her 1st and 3rd diaries (how she is so shocked to see people drinking, etc) and ducky, although he is a loyal friend, he's kind of wimpy. (i guess i don't understand why a 16 yr. old guy would want to hang out with 13 yr. girs.) maggie is kind of obsesive but amalia seems nice. her diaries are interessting to read. overall, i think the series is good and would recommend that everyone read it. it is nothing like the bsc, which is a good thing. i just wish that mrs. martin would age the characters by a couple of years and not have them repeat grades over and over again. also, i think that the next dawn book should be when dawn goes back to stoneybrook and dumps the bsc. then they should have bsc diaries from those characters pov's and have them be realistic like the cd's. i wish mrs. martin would write a 'jill' diary. she acts like a baby but maybe she's not really like that inside.

Summary: This is a great book! =)
Review: This book opened up my heart into a new perspective. I couldn't imagin loosing my mother but this book opened up my eyes and made me see more of what a tragedy loosing your mother is. After all the [stuff] she gave to all her freinds they all realized that it was a time of need for her. With her freinds coping her every step of the way she managed to survive the tragedy of her loss. If you are a fanatic as I am READ THIS BOOK and have a box of tissues reading it you'll need it.

Summary: a touching tale
Review: This book was quite sad! It is one of those kinds of books were once you start to read it you cant put it down. I took me 3 hours to read the whole book. I could feel Sunny's pain through out the book. It was so sad when they all gather around and just wait, watch and hear Mrs. Winslow die. The saddest part in this book was when they threw here ashes into the Pacific Ocean.(My Opinion)

Summary: Sunny Winslow
Review: This is one of my favorite books, although it is very sad. Sunny Winslow is a very human 13 year old girl, with mixed thoughts and feelings about her mother's terminal illness. Having decided to terminate chemotherapy, Sunny's mother has come home from the hospital to be with her family. When Mrs.Winslow dies, Sunny is heartbroken, but her family and friends work to pull her from the brink of despair. I almost cried while reading this book, and I have to say that Ann Martin is a very talented writer.

Summary: How to deal with your MOTHER dying? Just. Cry.
Review: When i read a book its like reading just another chapter in my social studies book. I never before had a book move me emotionally as to where i felt as though i WAS that person who's life was spilled upon those pages. In "Sunny Diary 3" I was moved to tears. The book began the way most Sunny books do. She was describing her life at that moment, her fight with Ducky, her life at School and of course her life with her mother. It wasn't until near the middle of the book when you begin to (as well as Sunny) realise how BAD Mrs Winslows cancer has begun to effect her. Before long it becomes inevident that her mother will die. And that her death is very near. It wasn't until i read "This is undoubtedly the haredest thing you will ever have to do"..."How do I prepare my good-bye to my Mother...forever". That made me sob to where i had to put the book down and cry. Its a excellent book. READ IT! EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS BOOK! It makes you value your parents in a whole new prospective...especially your mother...the sweetest kindest creature in exsistance...imagine her gone. and Just. Cry.
