sshatarevyan 's review for:

When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi
5.0

I came home from work Friday night, and after having dinner, I cracked open this book, started reading, and didn't close it again until I finished. In life, Paul was always fascinated with meaning, studying literature and ultimately becoming a neurosurgeon. In death, he exemplified a courageous spirit, teaching us to face it without fear. Had he lived, he would have saved countless lives, yet when death cut his life short, he imparted a more beautiful gift, one filled with hope, love, and joy. His message is a gift and the influence on my life indelible. Please read this book!!
