It's difficult to live when everything in the world kills you.
In this moderately short but powerful novel we learn the story of Madeline "Maddy" Whittier, a fragile seventeen year old young lady with SCID, also known as the "bubble boy" disease.
Isolated from the outside world, from everything, and everyone, Madeline lives secluded in a completely sterilized house; with a protective mother and a dedicated nurse that constantly checks her medical condition, since even the slightest alteration, even the most innocuous microbe, has the potential to kill her.
Recluse in a house that she is never allowed to leave, life goes on relatively uneventful, until one day a dysfunctional family moves into the next house. And among them, a young boy named Olly.
This external interference, will slowly change her life, unleashing a new world unknown before within her, and a passion to live, that carries, given her fragile condition, a sure risk of death.
There are books that make you feel, think, and even tear, and this is one that includes a little bit of everything, with even some laughs as well. It left me with countless quotes and moments to remember. A memorable YA, adorable as few others.
**** The movie manages to capture some of the book's spirit, but not really that much. Neither good or bad, just regular. Some important omissions and deviations were noticed. And the atmosphere felt a lot more early teen than young adult. Rue was also there. Interesting to complement the reading. At the very least I'm thankful they didn't butchered the book in the process.

Es difÃcil vivir cuando todo en el mundo te mata.
En esta moderadamente corta pero poderosa novela conocemos la historia de Madeline "Maddy" Whittier, una frágil jovencita de diecisiete años con SCID, también conocida como la enfermedad del "niño burbuja".
Aislada del exterior, de todo y de todos, Madeline vive recluida en una casa completamente esterilizada; junto a una protectora madre y una dedicada enfermera que constantemente revisan su condición médica, ya que la menor alteración, hasta el más inocuo de los microbios, tiene el potencial de matarla.
Recluida en una casa de la que jamás puede salir, la vida transcurre relativamente sin sobresaltos, hasta que un dÃa una problemática familia se muda a la casa contigua. Y entre ellos, un jovenzuelo llamado Olly.
Esta intromisión del exterior, paulatinamente, irá cambiándole la vida, desatando un nuevo mundo desconocido dentro ella, y una pasión por vivir, que lleva consigo, dada su frágil condición, un seguro riesgo de morir.
Hay libros que te hacen sentir, pensar, y hasta lagrimear, y éste es uno que incluye un poco de todo, inclusive hasta alguna risa también. Me llevo innumerables frases y momentos para el recuerdo. Un YA memorable. Adorable como pocos.
*** La pelÃcula llega a capturar algo del espÃritu del libro, pero hasta ahÃ. Ni buena ni mala, veÃble. Se notaron varias omisiones crÃticas, y algunas desviaciones importantes. Y el clima parecÃa mucho más early teen que young adult. Rue también está ahÃ. Interesante para complementar la lectura. Al menos se agradece que no masacraran la obra original.
