Book Reviews of The Last Lecture CD
Book Review: Great read, and meaningful text
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is moving and enlightening. It not only focuses on why each moment is so precious, but it also belittles the event that will be the end of us all, replacing it with the spirit of all that lives on past us. Book Review: Touching and Memorable
Summary: 4 Stars
There are parts of this book that will stick with me forever. Last week I let my daughter paint her room orange AND blue AND pink specifically because of a lesson I learned from The Last Lecture.Book Review: Inspirational
Summary: 5 Stars
I picked this book up expecting something sappy and over the top, but instead I found a life story that was honest, straight to the point, insightful, and inspiring.
The book is a memoir, but reads like a guide to leadership and a shot in the arm to make the most of the moment.
It forced me to think about my family in ways that were uncomfortable but their were questions that needed to be answered if this were to happen to me.
This is a great book, that every leader in life should read.
Book Review: Very Disappointed...
Summary: 1 Stars
Well, I've got to be honest here...
This book didn't live up to my expectations. They were many sad moments & funny moments, but I didn't find anything in this book that was inspirational. To be honest I got bored with this book. I cried once and I hate the fact that he is dying in the book, and died friday. But I really wouldn't buy this book again or recommend to anyone. I'm not trying to be ugly or mean at all but it just wasn't much to it other than leaving a journal for his family & friends. I'm sure his kids will appreciate it when they get older. Sorry people, don't throw stones at me...
Book Review: Randy Pausch will be remembered
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was wonderful and exciting. Anyone who hasn't heard of Randy Pausch should most definitely read this book, even just as a reminder to live everyday to its fullest. Even to the very end Randy remained optimistic about his health, and was so inspiring to so many. He died on July 25th, and we will remember all of the surprisingly funny yet important things that he had to say in The Last Lecture. I especially liked the part where he was driving his nephews in his new car, and had been so adamant about how he still wanted to keep the car clean, altough he had young people in the car. It turned out that his nephew spilled, but instead of getting angry like most would do, instead Randy took his own drink and spilled it onto the seat too, to show that it was just a car, and that it didn't matter as much as his young relative's love for him mattered. Many will remember, Mr. Pausch, I am definitely not the only one who cried when learning of his passing. Yet Randy would not want to see us sad when he is gone, although we rightfully should be, but instead move on and do wonderful things in memory of him. I thank God that He made such a caring and wonderful person, and he will be missed by many.
