The first half is worth a read if you're interested in the last few years of Sartre though it ends up reading more like a medical diary rather than any actual insight, aside from a few interesting gems about his relationships with other philosophers and his activism over the years.

Impressive the number of fights led by Sartre. I thought he lived in a world of ideas. But, on the contrary, he lived in the present all his life. He participated in life through his plays, novels, and articles. And above all, he committed himself to this society wanting to change it, being sensitive to people's daily lives, and in contact with people. Not just a theorist. A beautiful lesson about insensitivity to the community around us and an awareness that we are actors in our lives and can act on society.
On the contrary, his reflection is accessible, not with complicated words.

This is about Sarte, but I think Simone de Beauvoir is really the star of the show here.
