ldv 's review for:
The End of Your Life Book Club
by Will Schwalbe
The writing is average, the dialogue forced, but the story, the book discussion, the message is excellent. The premise of the story, that the author and his mother form a book club and discuss books during her chemo treatments is lovely. They discuss so many wonderful books, too, that I almost wonder why I'm reading about these books and not the books themselves. This premise alone is worth the book. But truly, this woman deserved to have a book written about her because she led such a rich and giving life, she did SO MUCH for so many people, that she deserved a book celebrating her life. This is a book I'd like to own, because I think I could come back to it again and again, both in part and in whole. So much of the book should be highlighted, too.
Though I'm glad I read it now while the idea of a family member with cancer is not my reality, because if it was, this book would be VERY difficult to read.
