i needed a good chunk of time to let this book sit with me because it was soooo impactful, and much more than i had prepared myself for. its just...living in its rawest state; learning to know a man in his own words as he comes to terms with his life in the past, present, but not future as hes very quickly dying...its a lot to read about but Paul Kalanithi had such a way with words and for that many people will always be grateful to him and he'll always be remembered. i wish the best to his family 💖

challenging emotional reflective sad fast-paced

It was a nice and short book, and the history behind it was very moving, however, that what makes it so dissappointing. I found myself wanting to know more about what was not written. I believe the narration is a little bit over the place and it comes like a tad patronizing. I loved Paul, but his writing felt more detached than what I espected in certain points. Still a good read.

Wow. I loved this book. In the wake of my mother-in-law’s death, this book brought me to tears at the beginning and at the end. Such a raw and honest account of what lies between learning about a terminal illness, the hope, the struggle, the reality, and the acceptance. I’m honored to have read this and feel so fiercely near to this understanding of life. Time never is long enough.
