I finished this book and couldn't let go of it for what seemed like ages. A story that I would typically devour in a few hours turned out to be a very overwhelming and difficult book to read. It struck a chord from the very beginning and I often found myself unable to continue reading without a break. Both Paul and Lucy did an amazing job, concerning this book and their life together. As horrible as this experience must have been, mortality and the awareness of its immediate presence turned the last chapter of his life into something many of us can only dream of.
