2008-10-12 - The Last Lecture
An outstanding story by a special person - Randy Pausch faced a terminal disease with courage, humor, and a selfless generosity. He teaches all of us a lesson on how to live, even in the face of death. His story is an inspiration to all of us.
2008-10-12 - Uplifting Tragedy
This book was a wonderful, uplifting look at the terrible fate of pancreatic cancer in a relatively young man. The thoughts given by Randy Pausch were inspiring and provided many insights on bettering your life. I have recommended this to the local hospice bbok club.
 2008-10-12 - great concept, disappointing development
This book is beautifully bound, a joy in the hand. The topic grabbed me. The text disappointed; a collection of remembrances interspersed with wishes for might have been. There was nothing here that a reasonably thoughtful mature person couldn't have written. Perhaps the lure of hearing revelations and masterful insights is a basic human drive, and that's why we buy such books. Oh well.
2008-10-12 - Everyone needs to read
This book was truly touching. It really helps to put real life into perspective and really makes you think twice about how fortunate you are. The courage that this man displayed, along with his ability to think of others when he could have been selfish or negative was a gift. I have chosen to have this book as a team reading for my basketball as we begin our season. Everyone will be able to look at this book and gain something from it.
