The question/ answer format brings understanding to the issue of AIDS through the poignant story of a family member slowly losing his life. Reviewed by Jaglvr for TeensReadToo.com QUICKSAND is a short book. But it's a book that pulls no punches and goes right to the heart of the matter: HIV/AIDS in our midst. The author, who wishes to remain anonymous, intersperses the story of her brother-in-law with straightforward and sometimes blunt information on HIV/AIDS. The book goes quickly, and provides answers to many common questions. It also gives suggestions and tips on how to interact with those infected with the virus. Though the virus has been recognized for over 20 years, and has been around longer than teenagers today, there are still many misconceptions and fears. The information shared may be difficult for some, but overall, the book provides much needed information to many that are seeking to allay their fears or just become more knowledgeable. It's worth reading just as a reminder that the virus isn't transmitted easily, and the bottom line is that it is 100% preventable. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
