The Honest Truth 
But in one important way, Mark is not like other kids at all. Mark is sick. The kind of sick that means hospitals. And treatments. The kind of sick some people never get better from.
So Mark runs away. He leaves home with his camera, his notebook, his dog, and a plan to reach the top of Mount Rainier--even if it's the last thing he ever does.
The Honest Truth is a rare and extraordinary novel about big questions, small moments, and the incredible journey of the human spirit.
I can't even begin to imagine how a person with terminal illness must feel like but I know for sure that it's one of the worst (if not THE worst) feelings one can ever encounter in life.The Honest Truth tells the story of Mark, a young boy who is battling cancer and he is just tired of it all. Tired of being sick, tired of being pitied, tired of feeling like his time on Earth is running out. So, he decides to "claim" his life (which is the only thing he feels he has a claim of) and sets off on a
it was really sad but it was beautiful. i really loved this book, it had a lot a meaning to it and i can relate somehow to this book. it was also one of my favorite books this year which i think is hard for me to find books i like, so this one is great.

This is a quick and easy, though gut-wrenching read with a plot that made me turn the pages for a straight-through-in-one-day read. I HAD to know what was going to happen.

I had an ARC of The Honest Truth by Dan Geimenhart and it isn't good. I was excited because The Honest Truth is an outdoorsy novel, like Halfway to the Sky, but the trouble with a kid alone in the wilderness is that things rarely happen when one is alone in the wilderness.

The Honest Truth is not a book I can recommend. The writing is good and the characters well-developed, but I object to the story and tone of the novel. Mark is a normal kid who has been battling cancer for years. When the cancer returns, he runs away with his faithful dog Beau. His goal is to reach the top of Mount Rainier. However, he lies to his parents and forces his best friend to choose between their friendship and telling everyone where he has gone. As a parent, this was painful to read.
