    very moving book 5

    8 months ago

    It was very well written - easy to read however that part is totally secondary to the message from the author. His thoughts while he faces his own death are ones that each of us should use in our lives now. Don't wait until we're trying to say goodbye. I'll be purchasing more copies to give to friends/family. The minute I was done, I went on the last lecture website as I wasn't ready to let it go yet.

This would be a great book to give as a gift (even to someone that doesn't read often… + read more

    Awesome Read 4

    9 months ago

    I would recommend this book to anyone, especially when you’re having a bad day. It is funny, sad and inspirational all in one. It is the story of one man’s life and some of the lessons that he has learned along the way. This book is about real life!
