5.0 out of 5 stars A must item, January 7, 2009

By	ejc - See all my reviews

Pausch Last Lecture sums up what life should be...what really matters. It definitely is a "must see" for every young person (junior high,high school and college). It is thought provoking for all.

3.0 out of 5 stars The Last Lecture Classroom Edition, April 21, 2009

By	J. Miller "georgiapeach" (the South) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Interesting and sad but a self help book as routine as any with much the same general content. One plus and a standout is the optimism Professor Pausch was able to maintain throughout his ordeal. It was also fortuitous that with this documentation of his last few months, he was able to leave future income for raising his 3 children with the profits from the book and DVD. I am sure this gave him a peace of mind for their future well being and support for his soon to be widowed wife. The DVD is the better of the two.
