review 1: First thing's first, I need to say that I found this story to be truly heartbreaking yet inspiring and I am very glad to have read it. However, I didn't like the writing. This memoir would have been much more enjoyable had it been written with better word choice and style; nevertheless, the fact that it was written by Ben's sister is very significant and the annoyances can thus be forgiven. After finishing this book, the question that fills my head the most is, "What is my purpose in life?" I am thoroughly reminded that ultimate success in this life is quite insignificant, that heaven is the supreme goal. That's a very important message, and I think it was one of the ideas that Ben hoped to share with the world before his passing.
review 2: The book is abo
... moreut Ben Breedlove and his 18 years of life on earth. He had a heart condition that was detected when he was 1 or so and how he chose to accept it from God and to live life. Having a 2 year old and a 3 month old, I couldn't imagine what his parents went through when his problems occurred. I know I was very tearful reading the beginning of the book and the end of it. The book got more into the Christianity of it towards the end with Ben and his belief that when the time came he was ready and willing to be with Jesus and God. That was a great part of the story. My only issue that I had was she (author) really jumped around in his life and I got a little lost as to when the events were happening. She described things when he was like in 8th grade, then in the same chapter he was in HS. The next chapter he was younger, then the next he was in 11th grade, etc. It just jumped around a bit too much without much flow. It was good otherwise. less
