review 1: I really enjoyed this book a lot although it was heart-wrenching at times. Patrick Swayze and the parts he played in movies were a huge part of my growing up years, as I know he was for many of my friends and relatives. I loved reading about his strength and the love between he and his wife of thirty-four years, Lisa Swayze. Two weeks after I read this book, I found out my father-in-law has stage four pancreatic cancer so I can't help thinking there was a reason I read this book when I did.
review 2: This was a very honest account of how Lisa dealt with Patrick's illness & subsequent death. It was very Lisa oriented- which you would imagine, her being the author- and I felt was more about what Lisa went through as opposed to Buddy. The book shows her to be a... more very strong woman who almost ran herself into the ground for months and months to make Patrick her number 1 priority. The love between the two of them is hugely evident. It was heartbreaking reading what he had to endure. He seemed to take everything in his stride; his strong, passionate personality and unwavering will to live was his biggest weapon against the disease. I would have loved to have met him. There aren't many "celebs" who I can say I think are amazing human beings, but Patrick Swayze was definitely one of them. less
