I don’t think I’ve ugly cried over a book as much I did as I read the last pages of this stunning memoir. I mean gasping for air, eyes bloodshot red amount of crying. This book was just heartbreaking, but so eye opening and enlightening at the same time. Being able to enter someone’s world who possessed a brilliant mind and a big heart was truly amazing. Reading about his struggles in living his life even with death looming over him and not being able to accomplish what he originally planned for his life was soul crushing but also made me want to go out and live the life I’ve always wanted to. This book really hit me hard and I found myself sobbing through many parts, but I feel so happy that Paul Kalanithi was strong enough to write this masterpiece as he lived the last year of his life. I hope that many people can experience a voice of someone as brave and passionate as he was.
