Review: When Breath Becomes Air

When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

You know the outcome of this book before you even start it. That being said. I thought this was a powerful book, and the struggle to define one's life is something anyone can relate to. Most of us are not forced to come to terms with our mortality at a young age, but it is something we all think about. What is most important to us? What makes us who we are? What are we willing to sacrifice to get to our goal? Paul Kalanithi looks at all these things as he deals with having Stage IV lung cancer. This is a book about dying but it is also a book about living.
