i really really liked this book, but i hated the ending... i think there shouldve been a few more chapters to tie up the loose ends!

I liked this book, but I think the plot showed a bit too much at the end. I didn't buy the main character's final career decision and thought it felt forced, and at times the novel seemed to pull on the reader's emotions through cheap tricks rather than true feeling.

There is not much to say, yet another book about the final years of an ALS patient is sad, but after a couple of these books it needs more than a disease to keep my interest. It's overall a forgettable story, but it was well written at least.

When a college student becomes a part-time careworker for a woman with ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease), her own life begins to transform. There's some dark humor in here, and lots of bittersweetness, plus some college-girl angst. I liked it. A/A-.

Enjoyable read with a good attempt at describing a carer's experience. A bit lightweight but more than just entertaining.

Good'un. Forgot I finished it until I watched the movie. Can't remember: 3.5 stars?
