Somebody Up There Hates You

"Somebody up there hates you" by Hollis Seamon is about a smart-mouthed and funny, teenaged-boy named Richard Casey; in most ways, he's a typical seventeen-year-old boy. Except he has cancer, and he's spending his final days in the hospital. His mother, doctors, and the hospital staff are determined to keep Richard alive as long as possible. In this place where people go to die, he has plans to make the most of the life he has left. 

Reading this book so far has had me thinking of what will be next. I think sooner or later, one of the nurses will find out that his uncle took him to the bad side of town (where Richard was restricted to go) and i think Richard and his uncle will get in big trouble. I predict this because in the book it said, "Well, well. What we have here?' Sylvie's father is standing over me, swaying and red-eyed and giving off heat like a chimney. He reaches down and tears my mask off. His spittle sprays onto my face. 'Could it be? Our little wise-ass punk? Out of the hospital? Not so sick, after all? You lying fake." This is when Richard got caught in the bar, where he was not supposed to be. What I think would happen to him is that the nurse that let him out, would be fired. According to him, she's one of the good nurses too, making it worse for Richard for loosing a great nurse.
