An incredibly moving story about a man told he was about to die and the power of human kindness. Stefan Bourque wrote a beautiful, heartwarming story. It was a wonderful read - in the first part of the book, you just read Joe's thoughts as he faces his dying alone - you really understand what it was like for a person facing a terminal diagnosis. Then he gives himself a going away party and in the process found a wonderfully caring individual that truly helped Joe through his final days, but sheGreat read...Joe at the end of his life finally found what he wished he would have found long ago..but at least he did get to feel love and give of himself to a very special lady and her son...loved the book from cover to cover!
This is actually closer to novella length at 156 pages, but it was worth every bit of it. Very emotionally charged, from Joe being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, giving up and planning suicide, meeting Rebecca and her son, everything, all the the through the book. Yeah, this one will make some tears well up for you.
This book made me think, it inspired me, it bored me at times, and it made me cry. There were parts at the beginning that were a little slow- I'm not going to lie, I may have started skimming, however the rest of it was insightful and tugged at my heartstrings.
Didn't get good until the middle and then the end was so sad even though you knew the whole time it was going to be sad.
The first half of the book has Joe pondering about much that is negative in life. The second half does much to redeem the story after he meets Rebecca and her young son Devin.
While the book is on the topic of death, the book ended surprisingly satisfying. A good read. Free Kindle ebook from amazon
