 The Last Lecture January 6, 2009
English Professor (Alabama)
The book (The Last Lecture)arrived in short order, it was in the condition advertised (new) and the price was very reasonable. It was ordered amid all the Christmas rush (although not for a gift) but it still arrived in a very reasonable time. I will buy from this seller again if I get the opportunity.

She hasn't read it yet, but she was thrilled at receiving this book. We saw a TV show about the author that she liked, so I figured it would be a good buy, and it seems to be.

eh...it's okay. I guess I had more expectations from seeing Randy on TV and all the hype...etc. Fell short. Great guy, though.

The Boss tortued us with the video of this clown (oh - so sorry - I know he's dead) with all of the deep thinking of a drunk at 2 am.
gee - dream big dreams. how original.
gee - I love my kids. BIG DEAL. everyone loves their kids.
gee - I am going to die. I figured that out when i was about, 9 or 10 years old, kind of freaked me out.
I got over it.
this was the biggest waste of an hour and 18 minutes of my entire life.
there was NOTHING in the lecture that anyone with a brain cell did not figure out when they were a teenager.
Unless they were really dumb and self absorbed.
Touching story but nothing original January 5, 2009

The author's story is very sad and I was touched by many parts of the book. Would this book be so popular or even be published if the author did not have a terminal illness? I found it interesting that in the beginning, the author stated that he did not want to write about dying or his illness, but that is exactly what he should have written/lectured about. After all, the stuff that he talked about has been said countless times. There was nothing original in his lecture/book. Dr. Pausch is a very intelligent and likeable person. He could have added value to readers by conveying his experiences of dying. That is something that we all do not experience or experience very briefly at the end of our lives. I wish that the author had used his humor, eloquence, great writing skills in telling us his story of dying. That would have made it an original book.
