Book review:

Paul Kalanithi is one of those writers that has the gift of eloquence. I was glued to his words and his story. It was both heartbreaking, filled me up with happiness and understanding at the same time. This book explained mortality in ways you could not even express. We are a thin line between life and death and what you do in that thin line really defines you as a person. What is your purpose here? Do not ask God, ask yourself. Will your life be meaningful? Or will you merely be someone who lets time pass without making your mark. Paul Kalanithi made his mark before he left, he wrote a book that touched me and many many lives. I recommend this book and would rate this book 5 stars.

If you work in the medical field I would recommend this book even more, I feel we sometimes have a habit of rushing through patients when we have a max case load. The book really gives you in detail how a neurosurgeon turned cancer patient changed his practice mind set.
