The End of Your Life Book Club by Will Schwalbe

4.0

---

This book was right up my alley. It talked all about how literature effects our lives, how discussing books helps us to talk about topics we might not otherwise and it addresses all sorts of end-of-life issues that matter to me because of my work as a Hospice volunteer. Since I've had the misfortune of having a lot of people I know die from cancer, I thought the book did a great job of delving into how important it is for every person to have a well planned, peaceful death experience. On top of that, Mary Anne Schwalbe was a fascinating woman, so her life was a neat backdrop for this story. I didn't feel the writing was all that great, and there were times that some sentences ran on a little much for me, but overall, I'm so glad this book was written.
