I’ve heard of this book, but actually had no idea what it was about. Sounds like a sad read.

WOW — I have not heard of this one before, but apparently I must read it

I would have to be in a certain frame of mind however. I am not always turned off by sad books – but I cannot read them at anytime of the year. Does that make sense?

Thanks so much for the honest, heart-felt review.

I have often thought about reading this book and the fact it is sad doesn’t put me off. I think I’ll have to dig this one out of my stacks and read it soon. Thanks for reminding me about it.

Just your review made me cry, so I can only imagine what this book would do.

I definitely want to read this one, but I was always afraid it would be too depressing. I’m glad to see that there was some humor in it. I’ll get to it at some point.

I have been thinking of this book lately and wanting to read it. I know the background story, and although it’s very sad, I also think it’s sort of amazing that he was still able to dictate the book, using only blinks. Thank you for the great review and for reminding me of this book. I am going to have to get started with it!
