This is a sweet little book that can easily be read in one sitting. It really makes you question what's important to you, what you've done with your life and the relationships you have or don't have. I honestly just could not put it down.
The author did a really amazing job of keeping this book quite light and funny considering that the main idea behind the book is actually pretty dark - what would you be willing to get rid of from the world in order to live another day?
I think most people will laugh and cry while reading this book. It packs a huge punch of emotions, but overall you come away feeling uplifted.
If you want a book that is going to make you think and feel, but isn't going to completely drain you - then this might be the book for you.
I loved it and I can see me recommending it a lot in the future.
My only real critercism is that I wish the book had explored the subject a little deeper or maybe just been a little longer. Other than that it was perfect.

I'm usually not one to read sad books, but this book manages to balance discussing the inevitability of death without being overly depressing. I even laughed a bit while reading. It's a quick read and the only reason why it's a 4.75 instead of a 5 is because the plot is predictable. Rather than thinking "What happens next?", I often thought "How will he write this part next?". Despite that, it was still a good read for someone who wants something more reflective without fighting your feelings at every page.

so. good.
a deeply emotional and beautifully written book. it was devastating as much as it was hopeful.
if you're scared of dying and death in general, this is the book for you, and it will change your whole perspective. except for the story being a bit slow sometimes, this is a perfect piece of art. adventurous, sad, sweet, calming.
