 Super inspiring story -- The Last Lecture-- November 25, 2008
You will want all people to hear this story of life and trying to achieve your dreams. Highly recommended!!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent November 25, 2008
The book is an excellent and heartfelt bunch of stories about the author's dreams and hopes for his family after his death.
Inspirational November 24, 2008
This book will inspire anyone to make the most of life. His legacy to his children is an inspiration. Cancer knows no boundaries: rich, poor, old, young, it doesn't matter. Having lost my husband to cancer, I understand the shock of being told there is nothing that can be done. Truly a great book.
Compelling reading November 24, 2008
This is compelling reading when you recognize that it is being written as a legacy to a dying man's children. All the life lessons that parents hope to impart to their children over 18 to 21 years is captured in this book. Even if your children are now young adults living their own lifes, buy them a copy of this book , ask them to read it, reflect on it and use it in raising their own children.
 Made me think about my Dreams. November 23, 2008
When Randy Pausch gave his lecture, I saw excerpts of it on Good Morning, America. I smiled as I listened to him, yet, soon got tired of seeing the same excerpts over and over again. I never did read the entire lecture.
Recently, as I helped support a friend with cancerous brain tumor, I saw a book on his bookshelf. I picked it up and he said "You take it it home with you."
The day I wrote my words to be read at my friend's memorial service, I picked up this book and realized that it was not about the Last Lecture...it was about "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams". Soon I was smiling for I saw, within the chapters, laughter, love and determined effort to go after what you want in life. He was quite the man -- As my Dad would say "He never let grass grow under his feet."
This is a easy read that is bound to make you smile....especially how he figured out to experience, at NASA, the machine that helped one experience space weightlessnesss.
