 I read it then bought 8 more for family and friends November 2, 2008
gramma in Montana (Montana, USA)
I had read excerpts and summaries of this book but, in reality, none did it justice.
I am emotional person but did not shed a tear throughout this book - I found it to be tremendously uplifiting. Randy's family, his parents and all who touched his life in his younger years and helped mold him into the adult he was and his lovely wife Jai and subsequently their children have all contributed tremendously to who Randy was and becuse of them his ideals, sense of humor and soul will live on through them. Equally, he contributed to who all that they are as well. I wish I had known him personally.
Fabulous book - the hour I finished it I ordered 8 more for our adult children and a few friends who are very special to me.
The Last Lecture November 2, 2008
Nancy M. Herrington (Naperville, IL)
I was deeply touched by Randy Pausch's "The Last Lecture" book on cd. He was truly an inspiring man with a positive attitude I wish more people would have. He faced his illness head on and was not sent into a downward spiral like so many others go when hit with this terminal news. I work in an oncology office and know firsthand that attitude is everything when fighting for your life - make the most of it! Thank you Randy for your many words of wisdom!
Thanks for insight November 2, 2008

When I read this book I was some what sad because of the context of the story and yet I was enlighten to realize that he and I are so much alike and what a wonderful job he did getting a lifetime of values and traits both good and bad into a book. It helped me understand me and I sent it to a number of people including my children so they might understand me through Randy. I understand some people don't get it. He is a STEM guy and not everyone gets a STEM guy but those of us who do certainly say thankyou.
 Well worth the read November 1, 2008

I thought this was terrific book. Sure makes one think about their life and what they are doing with it.
A Must-Read! October 31, 2008
Stephanie L. Churchill, LMFT (St. Johnsbury VT)
This could have been a sad and depressing book, but I found it to be inspiring and uplifting instead! I plan to give this to family and friends for Christmas gifts, as we all need to be reminded what is truly important in life!
