There are chapters that have you gripping the edge of your seat or bawling your eyes out and others where you are bored and ready for the next brush of death. And they get repetitive especially when you regret decisions made or thinking about how you can survive your situation. The author makes me want to go out and travel more. Live more.
Note: It’s interesting to hear about the healthcare system in Europe. It is so different than Americas. But also similar especially when doctors brush off your needs and ignore your symptoms.

O’Farrell’s writing is incomparable in its atmosphere and style. I have found myself profoundly moved by several parts of this book, though others slightly less. It has inspired me to reflect on my own life and how I have treated and considered it throughout, and has bored it’s way into my brain in the days I have been reading it
