When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi
5.0
Excuse me while I finish crying, so I can write my review. Wow... the end got me, hard!
When Breath Becomes Air grasped me from page one, making me feel like I was part of an exciting episode of Grey's Anatomy and I flew through the pages like a feather through the air.
Paul's passion for literature and (neuro)science, as well as his views on the world were so interesting to read, and made me wish I had known him or could talk to him one last time. I would love to hear his thoughts on philosophy, more of his cases or even the pandemic. I bet he had many more things to write about, if only he had the time.
Personally, I'd highly recommend this book if you're interested in the medical field, or how cancer changes someone's life. 5/5 for this one.
I would like to give you a fair warning: If you're about to read this book, just beware his wife is going to make you ugly cry. Guaranteed.
