Books : The Last Lecture

Rating: - Don't ever give up!
Randy Pausch and Jeffrey Zaslow have created a book about common sense! The Last Lecture is so much more than a book about one man's bout with cancer, it's more than just a book about living life to the fullest, it's more than making the most out of the opportunities granted us, it's not just one, but all these and more. Randy Pausch passed away this year and if you learn just one lesson from him it's this: Don't ever give up! Randy Pausch conveys with ease the love and decencies that surrounded him and the warmth of the people around him. This is one of those books that everyone must read at least once in their lives to truly understand how special the little aspects in life can be.

Rating: - An Outstanding Read
This book was very uplifting, and I didn't find it to be sad. The lesson on valuing and making the most of what you have while you still have it are clear. Always (and he still is) the teacher, I am grateful he was willing to share his life experiences and positive outlook with his family and with the rest of us too.

I recommend this book highly.

Rating: - Get out the tissues!
Randy Pausch's book made me laugh out loud and cry - often at the same time. His book is inspirational and makes readers look at their own lives, families, and dreams in a new way. I would suggest this book to everyone, but as a parent of a small child, it hits home especially hard. I would buy this book instead of borrowing it, as it is one to come back to again and again!
