The Last Lecture

There's not much to learn after reading this book, I regret to say. It does not work as a self-help book nor to families whom are dealing with cancer patientes.

I have a close relative of mine (my only sister) who is 47 years-old and has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. I bought this book in the hope of getting some orientation about it.

No. Randy puts a brave struggle in the face of near death, but, as a lot of researches show, most patients faced withe terminal cancer (mainly the young patientes like Randy and with finantial resources at his disposal) put up a brave struggle against it. As for the self-help part, there are a lot of cliches and, unfortunately, Pausch - or his ghost writer - are not very good writers. Like someone else said, there's no substance here. The writing is flat, boring and, as a self-help book, is one of the worst I've ever read.

I'm sorry to say that about a book written by a already dead man, but it's my impression of the book.

I purchased this for my father for his birthday. Its a wonderful reminder to let the ones we love know we love them EVERYDAY.

This book had received rave reviews from acquaintances ... but I admit, it was more of a personal "how I got to this point in my life review than I had realized it would be.

Randy was a remarkable man and I treasure the book, his story. I have given this book as a gift to friends and family. It is worth every cent you spend to purchase it.

The Last Lecture
This book gives you opportunity to re-value you life and your goals, look at your actions differently and motivates you to live positive and enjoy your life.
I would highly recommend this book.
