Product Description(Amazon.com)
During her treatment for cancer, Mary Anne Schwalbe and her son Will spent many hours sitting in waiting rooms together. To pass the time, they would talk about the books they were reading. Once, by chance, they read the same book at the same time—and an informal book club of two was born. Through their wide-ranging reading, Will and Mary Anne—and we, their fellow readers—are reminded how books can be comforting, astonishing, and illuminating, changing the way that we feel about and interact with the world around us. A profoundly moving memoir of caregiving, mourning, and love—The End of Your Life Book Club is also about the joy of reading, and the ways that joy is multiplied when we share it with others.

MY THOUGHTS: The fact the title has book club in it had a lot to do with me reading this book. Any book that has a title of BOOK in it will grab me. It also had to do with cancer. My hubby is at this time at the end of his fight with Colon Cancer. Reading about the lives of other people that have gone through this heart wrenching ordeal is something I am interested in right now. So I grabbed up this book at the library and started reading. It is very well written and takes you through all the stages of cancer, from first to last. The feelings this book invokes is very real. I am going through some of these feelings myself. I give this book 5....
This book is also for 1 of my reading challenges.....
