Which book is best, and why?

I liked Death Be Not Proud, but not many people do. I thought it was interesting, learning about tumors. And I thought it was heart-breaking, the story. I think, at the time, it was the first novel I'd read that really made me *think*. Johnny Gunther Jr. (the main character) was a real person, and DBNP is a real story. Johnny was brilliant, and it made we wonder: How would the world be different, were he alive? How would the world be different if deaths never ocurred at such young ages?
