A review by gadicohen93
Mortality by Christopher Hitchens

3.0

Hitchens is still obsessing over religion and his religious haters here to an irritating degree. It seems to be the only thing he cares about: Showing the naysayers that he still rejects God and living out his last days in vehement atheism. It's not that I disagree with him -- I completely jive with this vehemence. But this book seemed to be simply a regurgitation of the ideas he evangelized throughout his life. Well-written, yes, but the insights into dying were too scant for this to be great. I really appreciated his wife's words, the last chapter of the book -- poignant, real, exposing the most invisible yet tangible consequences of grief.
