4 posts | 3 read | 7 to read
In the spirit of the New York Times bestselling A Man Called Ove, this is the heartwarming story of a man who decides to end his life before hes too oldbut then begins to reconsider when he faces complications from the world around him. In an effort to delay the frailty and isolation that comes with old age, psychiatrist Millard Salter decides to kill himself by the end of the daybut first he has to tie up some loose ends. These include a tte--tte with his youngest son, Lysander, who at forty-three has yet to hold down a paying job; an unscheduled rendezvous with his first wife, Carol, whom he hasnt seen in twenty-seven years; and a brief visit to the grave of his second wife, Isabelle. Complicating this plan though is Delilah, the widow with whom he has fallen in love in the past few months. As Millard begins to wrap up his life, he confronts a lifetime of challenges during a single dayand discovers that his family has a big surprise for him as well.

Millard Salter's Last Day | Jacob M. Appel
Pickpick

I liked this book, however it wasn‘t as good as it could have been. My biggest grievance is that it is overly descriptive in things that aren‘t necessary to the plot. There will be long paragraphs where Millard describes the hospital, coworkers, relatives etc.,that don‘t really add anything special except physically lengthen the book.

Overall, I didn‘t dislike this (there were some good parts), I just thought it could have been a bit better.

Currently Reading: Millard Salter‘s Last Day by Jacob M. Appel. I just started this book yesterday. I‘m hoping to read more of it today but I‘m feeling sick so that may not happen. -

Full review on my blog.

"MILLARD SALTER'S LAST DAY isn't morose or morbid. In fact, Millard makes you laugh out loud with his last day antics and his last day actually being his birthday.

We get a trip down memory lane with Millard as well as learn some psychiatric trivia.

All in all, MILLARD SALTER'S LAST DAY had marvelous, detailed writing and characters."
