When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi
Star Rating: ★★★★★
Dr. Paul Kalanithi, an Indian-American neurosurgeon, is diagnosed with stage IV metastatic lung cancer in his last year of residency. As his entire life is finally about to begin, he is handed a death sentence and experiences life as a patient. He tells a vivid tale of the juxtaposition of the two roles from his experience.
This was a very quick read, and I did enjoy it. But, I would have really liked more about Paul growing up. The book breezed through that part of his life, but I feel there are some stories that rooted him as a person that would have added to the overall story.
Format read: Audiobook
