jobatkin 's review for:

4.0

Although it dragged in places and got a bit repetitive, the love, thought and care put into this book is almost tangible. Sensitively written by the son of a mother diagnosed with terminal cancer, it uses their shared love and experience of books to raise and discuss the important topics of life and death and everything in between. Any lover of reading will enjoy their book club discussions, and probably find a bunch of books to add to their reading list. I liked the way the book talks about faith, written by the atheist son about his strongly Christian mother, whose beliefs influence everything she does and says in a personal and practical way that makes such a dramatic difference to so many people around her. Different and definitely worth reading.
