haha I generally liked the book but certain parts seemed a little boring or depressing. The ending wasn't my favorite part because it didn't seem to tie up everything.

Overall I liked the book. It got boring at some parts but for the most part it kept me entertained.
It's definitely one of the better books we've read in English throughout High School in my opinion.
I agree with Christine though, a better ending would have made the book much more enjoyable looking back.

I liked the book but I think the ending story wasn't that great of a way to conclude the book as a whole. It left a lot of the other characters just hang and unknown in a way.

I liked the book. it kept me interested most of the time. there were times in which it seemed to be in a lull. Also, i felt the book was very depressing. there was a lot of death. there were also bright spots but the depressing ones are the ones that i remember the most.

i thought the book was decnet at best
it could have used a lot more action, and it seemed quite stale at moments, however the multiple stroy idea is interesting

i liked it a lot. i thought there were a lot of twists and turns in the story and i realyl liked how the first chapter introduced most of the characters and the other chapters went back and gave you background on all of them. i think the way they all tied into each other was intersting. it was like a soap opera

i love the drama in this book. it's kinda like the movie Crash, like the story is told from different points of view and the characters are tied together with some crazy plot twists

I generally liked the book, but i felt like it got boring at times and didn't really get me hooked

i dont know if i liked it that much, but some parts were pretty interesting. im still confused about the family tree, but the individual stories were pretty good

I thought the book was alright. Pretty boring most of the time but very eloquent writing.

Overall, I thought it sucked. The quality was uneven- I liked the Lipsha, Lyman, and Nector chapters, but didn't really care for the others.

I actually thought the book was stellar. I love stories where multiple characters' lives intertwine and it affects each individual as a whole. And also, there should definitely be a book just about Gerry if there isn't one already.

“Love Medicine” was def one of the better books we’ve read in English. It was a simple enough read and I really liked how each chapter was from a different character’s point of view. I liked the ending and thought it made sense. The books started with June and ended with June.
