This was my first book by Christopher Hitchens, but, I have known about Hitch for years. I actually remember the day that he died. I was in high school, back when I was a die hard Christian- or, rather, was trying to fool myself into believing that I was.
This was back in a time when my stomach would turn at the thought of *gasp* atheism and would not listen to reason outside of what was sent to me by my weekly passages to church.
It is a little bit funny for me to look back to see where I am now.

This book reminds me of David Bowie's Blackstar album, where like Hitch, he was staring down death, and was able to create something magnificent in that time. 
This book blew my mind, to have the wherewithal to know that you are dying, and to be able to note everything down, it is amazing. 
This book gave me so much to think about and I am so glad that I read it.
