This book sounds intense! I cannot imagine so much tragedy in one person's life and I cant imagine being positive throughout such tragedy either! Sounds like a very good read. Thanks for the review!

Thank you for sharing your review with us. I too felt like I was reading a novel, but in the back of my mind I knew it was all true. This book is exceptionally well written and I would recommend it to anyone going through a hard time.

It's great that this book has so much positivity despite knowing that this is a story about an impending death. I like that the author used a lot of flashbacks, too. Great review.
Just reading... :techie-studyingbrown: :techie-studyinggray:

In the 'Official Review: Dying Well by Susan Ducharme Hoben' the details presented about the book are satisfactory and saturated with thoughts. The quote about always smiling mentioned in the review is inspiring! I would love to read a book about death!

Even without teeth, there is still plenty to smile about! Like this excellent review. I will read this book at some point, maybe when my smile lines are a bit deeper.

This story sounds like it was written in a very heartfelt manner that will appeal to readers. I don't know anyone who hasn't lost someone from cancer. I empathize with the author and how difficult it must have been to write this book. I hope it helps someone out there going through this. Thanks for the great review!

Just the review alone is enough to fully peer into the raw emotions emanating from this book. I can't imagine how tough times must have been for the author, yet she was able to allow positivity to shine through her grief. That's a real courageous woman. Thanks for the review.

This is definitely interesting. A book that handles such a heavy subject as death in such a manner is worth reading indeed. Thanks for the enthralling review.
