 not what I expected September 3, 2008
I thought that the book would be the written version of the actual last lecture.
 The most significant book you'll ever read! September 3, 2008

Everyone should read this priceless book. It is so inspirational and moving. What an amazing man; what precious advice; what momentous knowledge to gain from reading the life of such a remarkable and vivacious man. We can all learn so much from his words of wisdom and the noble life that he lived. Many thanks to his wife, family and friends for supporting him while, at the last days of his life, he put together this brilliant book.
If you did not see the lecture, please read this. AND see the lecture September 3, 2008
I first saw Pausch's lecture on Oprah last fall, then again, on the day he died. His presentation is so moving, and much of that shows through in the book.
If you did not see the lecture, I recommend viewing part or all of it, available on Amazon or on his pages.
The book is a fine adjunct to his lecture, but I am not certain if someone who did NOT see his lecture - Did anyone NOT see it???? would find it as inspiring.
Pausch wanted the lecture to be available after his death, and it is easily searchable.
This book is a keeper, a fine memory of a man who dedicated his life to living.
And his death.
Worth Reading and Gifting September 3, 2008
I watched the YouTube lecture, the NBC interview and then read the book.It is truly inspirational and has a great philosophy of life. I was so impressed that I purchased 3 additional copies for gifts to the teachers of my 3 grandchildren... 1st, 5th and 7th grades.
I decided to keep the book since I plan to read it again from time to time. I have kept only one other book and have read it throughout my lifetime....Tolstoy,"What Men Live By"
The Last Lecture September 3, 2008
This is a very inspiring book by a man who, at the time his wrote this, was dying of pancreatic cancer. He has since passed away, and leaves a legacy for all who read his words.
He has some wonderful suggestions for how to live life to its fulest, even when you know your are dying at a very young age.
His words will leave a lasting impression on all who read it.
