Güzel bir hikaye geçiştirilerek anlatılmış gibi. Sanki fazla yüzeysel kalmış. Daha derin bir anlatım beklerdim.

A good page-turner to the end. The kind of story that stays with you and leaves an everlasting impression for the rest of your life, I'm sure of it. It brings up many questions about death.. either one's own, or of a loved one. I actually caught myself counting the last page hoping there were at least 2-3 pages more to read. I highly recommend this book to everyone.

"Bir sabah birdenbire sadece üç ya da dört haftalık ömrü kaldığı söylenen biri ne yapabilir?"
//
Konu itibariyle daha epey yoğun, etkileyici bir kitap okuyacağımı düşünüyordum ama pek çok açıdan yüzeysel kaldı. Yine de yazarın kalemini beğendim. Buçuklu puan verememek bir dram.

Beautiful and heartbreaking story of a doctor who must decide how to tell his own father that he is dying of terminal cancer. Would you want to know if you only had a short time left on earth? Would you want to be the one responsible for telling a loved one their fate? How do you cope with knowing you're going to die or lose a loved one?
While Dr. Miranda must explore these questions, he must also face the hypochondriac who has been obsessively trying to contact the doctor for advice, and ends up corresponding with his secretary instead.
Each character must face their own mortality in one way or another. Barrera Tszka does a great job of addressing illness and mortality concisesly but also compassionately.

Si no fuera por los continuos intentos del autor de resaltar lo bien documentado que estaba sobre el tema, este libro me hubiese gustado mucho más. Sus constantes citas insertadas en cualquier parte de la historia de una manera supuestamente casual me sacaban de quicio.
Creo que contar esta historia por medio de un narrador omnisciente fue una excelente idea, logré conectar con casi todos los personajes. Me hubiese gustado un poco más de información sobre algunos de ellos considerados secundarios (que para mi fueron bastante relevantes), igual, siento que guardaré un bonito recuerdo de todos.
