labtracks 's review for:
The End of Your Life Book Club
by Will Schwalbe
I absolutely love the idea of this! I wish I would have done this with my grandpa before he passed. He was a huge reader and often I would read the same books after him, but we never really planned or discussed.... and I'm fairly certain that if you are reading this review you might find that tidbit interesting, but not really anything you are particularly moved by.... and that's my feeling on this book.
This title is a bit misleading. It makes you think this book is going to be about a book club with a family member who is terminally ill. I guess technically it is, but overall the book is about the illness, treatments, and feelings surrounding those things with a smattering of books throughout.
Overall a very loving thing to do, admirable and touching, but I've had my own sick family members and know the emotions that go along with it, I don't really need to read in-depth about someone else's sick mother. That may sound heartless and I'm sure some found this book quite sad, the illness was a major part of the entire story, however, the writing style and overall story just didn't do it for me. A nice tribute and memory of his mother, but not something I needed to read.
