Kalanithi’s writing is poetic, insightful, and beautifully constructed. The events of Kalanithi’s life and the messages he has for the readers make for an eye-opening, inspiring, and a very emotional read. It is truly breathtaking and a new favourite of mine. While the book doesn’t have ‘characters’ per se as they’re real people, the depictions of all of the people were portrayed eloquently throughout. If I had to critique it I would say that I wouldn’t recommend it for readers who dislike a more poetic writing style or have little interest in medicine. It also changes pace in a way that's a little jarring in some places.
