“First let me praise this book. I seriously really love this book. Deadline is about the journey of Ben Wolf's last year alive. He has leukemia, a aggressive form, that is going to kill him with or without treatment. All it would do is maybe prolong his life a little. The Fault in Our Stars is still very much in my thoughts, I read it last month so I was a little worry that the topic was too similar for me to give Deadline a real fair read. Would I compare it too much, I wondered? It's different and the same. Ben's approach is to live his life to the fullest and try to experience as much as he can. He becomes brave where he was afraid, he becomes confident where he was unsure. I love the character of Ben, so much. I understood his reasoning behind his actions, though I didn't agree and as he is talking to Hey-Soos in his dreams he is growing spiritually, as well as seeing things so much more clearly (some great moments). Ben is opening his eyes to the way of the world, and we are right along for the ride. We love when he triumphs, we cheer him on when he asking his crush out. He's a protagonist I dare you not to like. Deadline is a much more serious book than I imagined I was getting when I bought it. It was depressing yet had it's moments when your smile couldn't get any bigger. I think Chris Crutcher has a way of bringing so many different angles to story. I am a now a fan.”

To make his senior year worth it, Ben plans to get a girlfriend, join the football team and create a bigger bond with his younger brother. Praying for a miracle, Ben trys to keep his mind off of his near death. This book has many adventures and accomplishments that high schoolers deal with all the time. A very interesting book with a twist ending. Amazing for anyone looking for a good laugh and a great plot.”

When 18 year old Ben Wolfe finds out that he only has a year left to live due to a blood disease, he is determined to leave with a bang. He tries out for the football team even though he's practically a midget, and befriends the town drunk. He even dates Dallas Suzuki, a smart and beautiful girl who Ben has a crush on. I give this book four stars because the book is well written and describes Ben's confused feelings about his impending death well. I would recommend this book to others. ”
