Not sure why Hitchens wrote this book. Good enough read; but, not full of new wisdom - other than a good take on the cancer "process"

This version of the book is in large letters, and the book itself is probably the shortest book by Hitchens. A good read into the mind of a thinker and journalist who is confronting death. I enjoyed reading it.

This small book are the thoughts of a man putting up with cancer treatment, never surrendered, though some days were pretty tough. I had chemo and I can't conceive of having the clarity to write like he did, and he went through alot worse than me!

I liked this book; it was very honest and quite interesting. The whole atheist vs believer issue which is dear to the author's heart didn't interest me as much, though. Dying is hard, and his sounded both horrendous and exhausting. An interesting man; I wish I could have been at one of his dinner parties!
