I was pleasantly surprised with this book! I fell in love with the voice of the doomed main character. I understand that this book may not be for everyone, but it had me laughing out loud!

The book is craziest book i’ve ever read yet. I’ve never had found anything like it. The ending was quite predictable, at least to me. It was written wittily. Cant help from laughing out loud at certain point. Good choice of light reading. Not too serious..i mean, it was not serious at all..

Eh. It was all right. Kept my interest. But it wasn't much on moral. I nice light read but I wouldn't be singing it's praises.

I need to start off saying: This was a HILARIOUS book! Even though it's a death story, Daniel Ehrenhaft sure knows how to make it funny.
The story of Ted Burger. First he thinks he's going to die, then with the help of his friends makes a list of 10 things to do before he dies. He has 24 hours and time runs out faster than planned. Why is Ted Burger about to die? What are the 10 things on his list? And, why does he want to go to Africa?
This story was an entertaining read that kept me interested the WHOLE book. Even though the ended was not what I expected, I was pleased with the astonishing finish.

Es una lectura muy sencilla y simple (lo leí en inglés y se me hizo super fácil) y es un libro que disfruté bastante.
Aunque no se qué fue, sentí que le faltó algo. La historia iba muy bien pero el final me desepcionó. Fue muy confuso y demasiado vago. *SPOILER* Esperaba que se muriera posta porque el primer capitulo dice "The Story Of My Death". Además, si hubiera ido al médico desde un principio, se hubiera ahorrado todo lo que pasó. Por lo cual también me pareció que en algunos casos la historia no tenía sentido.
Pero si, es una historia que disfruté, para para leer en mi tiempo libre y una sola vez. No creo que lo vaya a leer de nuevo.
3 de 5 estrellas.

I wanted it to be good, but it just wasn't my cup of tea. It was very predictable, especially the ending.

I read this book at camp, it was a cute book. This was a really easy read for me, but it was fun. A good read if you want something quick ands easy.
