avidreaderandgeekgirl's review against another edition
4.75
I think I came at this from a unique perspective of having come close to death, medically, multiple times, and not having a fear of dying/being dead. The only part of death I fear is the potential pain before the actual event.
The author said a lot I agree with, like how we should focus on having a good life while we're here and not focus so much on how long we live, but on the quality of it.
Also, this book inspired me to finally request the paperwork to donate my body to science, which I've been planning to do, but haven't gotten around to. Which I encourage anyone to do if they can't/don't want to be an organ donor.
Overall it was an excellent book and I learned a lot. It had a bit of true crime but was more of a memoir and science book.
Narrator Rating: 4.5 stars
The narrator was good if a bit dry. But it was appropriate for the subject matter.
