A review by mcleary
When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi

2.0

Who rates the memoirs of a terminally ill man? Yes this is a sad tale made particularly harsh by the unlikelihood of this type of cancer in someone so young. And yes it is sad that all that talent and potential were cut short. But there are so many sad stories and I can't quite see why this one needed publishing. Nothing really profound here or any new insights. A little too specific to be general.
