 This book is awesome!!! November 22, 2008
Randy Pausch's "Last Lecture" is a great companion to his YouTube hit lecture. He is so very insightful and comic at times. It will make you want to laugh and cry all in one.
Life-Affirming & Life-Changing November 21, 2008
With laughter and tears I devoured this must-read. Required reading for high schoolers, college students, engaged couples, married couples, parents-to-be, parents of teens, and those facing terminal health conditions: There's something here worth reading for every stage of life!
Book of the year November 19, 2008
This is one of the few books I have read this year that I can strongly recommend. Randy Pausch tells it like it needs to be told. He doesn't hold anything back and I was absolutely moved to tears.
Many times in our lives, we know what we should be doing but don't always do it. The things that Randy says in this book are things we should be doing NOW instead of waiting for a terminal diagnosis.
The thing about Randy that impressed me the most was that he refused to feel sorry for himself. What a terrific thing for us all to remember and live by. Many of us may have terribly difficult circumstances in our lives that are hard to live with. If a man with a terminal diagnosis can find happiness and productivity with a prognosis of pancreatic cancer, then we ALL can.
If you read no other book this year, please read this one. I can almost guarantee you won't be disappointed.
 What's not to love? November 19, 2008
He had me at 'hello' . . . . Randy Pausch shares his journey with humor and pathos, reminding us that we, too, can live our lives and die our deaths with honesty and integrity. Having read his lecture earlier, I had hoped for more 'padding' in the book but found it satisfying, nonetheless.
The Last Lecture November 17, 2008
Very intelligently written. Not what I expected, though. I thought it would be the lecture itself, so I was a bit disappointed. However, the message was inspirational and kept me turning the pages, so I guess that's what really counts.
