5.0 out of 5 stars In A Class of Its Own, March 6, 2009
By Stuart Lazarus (Columbus, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I found this book both beautifully written, compelling at every turn, and utterly unusual. By highlighting the realities of living while dying, it demonstrates to anyone willing to listen, that death is indeed very much a part of life. It is not even a little bit preachy, but rather a "what we went through" and "how we did it" that is at once mundane, profound, and nakedly self-disclosing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful moving text, December 7, 2008
By Michael Hemmingson (Ross Island, Antarctica) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a co-created narrative, two voices on cancer: the patient and the patient's significant other. It is an autoethnography on death and surviving the loss of a loved one. It shows us how to go on, no matter how painful that is, and how we can learn and grow through loss.
