Jul 25, 2018TEENREVIEWCREW rated this title 4 out of 5 stars
Paul writes in a way that takes us into his life and into the lives of those around him. He gives us a glimpse of what it's like to face death and at the same time find his passion and live his life with his wife and family. He never purposefully says anything deep or quotable, yet every word makes you think about your life. Kalanithi takes us on his journey of discovery and even in this last days he learns more and more. This emotional, sweet and incredible story will leave you questioning what’s important for you. - @Pandora of the Teen Review Board of the Hamilton Public Library The book When Breath Becomes Air is an inspiring story that discusses the hard fought battle Paul Kalanithi (the author) had with stage 4 lung cancer. The insightful story was really eye opening and I feel that anyone could enjoy reading about Paul’s journey. The text provides an insight on Paul’s life when he had cancer from his own perspective. I would rate this book a four out of five because of all of the lessons learned from it, and how it also served as a wake up call to be thankful for what you have. I personally have an interest in science which attracted me further to this book as it discussed several medical conditions. Overall, I think that if you enjoy reading about science, or inspirational messages, this is the perfect book for you! - @BetweenTheLines of the Teen Review Board of the Hamilton Public Library
