I reread this book because I needed it after my aunt passed away. I recall this book being so beautiful and thoughtful and sad and it truly is all of those things. It hurts right now but it is helpful to read a book that is meaningful to me and can relate to what is going on in my mind. I love this book for so many reasons.

This was an incredible book. I've never read anything like it and doubt I will again. Reading about this man's musings on life, death, and what gives life meaning was a personal exercise on what those concepts mean on a personal level. What an amazing perspective he had!

Woah. Finished this book in one day. I knew how it was going to end and was still sobbing. It’s a heavy book but so powerful.

Four stars for admiration. Hard to imagine anything worse than receiving the diagnosis he received at the time in his life that he received it. Came across as just wanting to put to good use his passion for writing to share, to educate, to help others understand. Feels like he only scratched the surface on some of, to me, maybe the most interesting issues, for instance, how he decided how to use the time he had left, how to figure out what he valued most, what it all meant to him with this new perspective. Would have loved to hear him expound on those ideas. Of course, had he had unlimited time he might have done so. Have the tissues handy when you get to the epilogue written by his wife.
