Zero inspirationNovember 26, 2008 2 out of 5 found this review helpful
While I feel sorry for Mr. Pausch, this book is full of tired cliches and offers nothing new that is life-changing. Rather, this work seems to be a self-absorbed, self-promoting autobiography and eulogy at the same time. This book was a huge disappointment and the only reason I finished it was because I was desperately searching for diamond in the rough. I never found it. For all his stoic attempts to impart some "wisdom" to the reader, it left me with what I started out with, nothing. This is not an inspirational book. It is a personal journal of a father trying to leave positive memories for his three young kids when they come of age, nothing more.
A legacy for all of usNovember 26, 2008 An absolutely beautiful story of optimism, perseverance, and a heart- wrenching legacy to Randy's children. Best book I've read in a long time!

ExcellentNovember 25, 2008 The book is an excellent and heartfelt bunch of stories about the author's dreams and hopes for his family after his death.
InspirationalNovember 24, 2008 This book will inspire anyone to make the most of life. His legacy to his children is an inspiration. Cancer knows no boundaries: rich, poor, old, young, it doesn't matter. Having lost my husband to cancer, I understand the shock of being told there is nothing that can be done. Truly a great book.
