This book came highly recommended by both Troy and Levi (brothers-in-law) as well as many others. I have wanted to read it for a long time, and when my friend Kathy lent it to me, I was delighted to be able to finally read it.
It was a wonderful, gut-wrenching read. This young man who chronicles his decisions related to his cancer is a moving writer. He's so honest and open about his feelings and his experiences that I was drawn in immediately. This is a courageous person! His thinking about life and its meaning was enlightening to read. Very good. I was weeping several times as he describes his joys and his pain...
It also made me think about issues of death vs. quality of life. Of cancer treatment vs. a natural approach. It surprised me that he didn't reach into the spiritual realm of his religion more or even describe this part of his experience more. Still, a very worthwhile and rich experience.
