This book made me tear up. I knew exactly how it was going to end when I started it. Because, frankly, there's only one sane choice that a person could make regarding the main issue of the book. But just the fact that it went into such meaningful territory about relationships, especially between parents and their children, is what really got me. And it made me think about my own parents, and mortality, and how people would think of me when I die. Or if the life I've lived is a fulfilling one. Man, this book really made me see things in a new light, and I'm happy I got to read it.
