This is an amazing book. It's educational, but doesn't seem like it at all because it mostly just follows these 5 critically ill people, & their decisions concerning a death of their choosing.
Not only because of the touching photographs interspersed throughout the text, but also because of his writing skills, I grew close & empathetic to these very real men & women.
I was also unable to set the book down as he exposed the incredibly unauthorized lengths that some people working within assisted suicide information groups will actually go to in aiding these people die.
