This was the author and book that came to mind for #day18 #localauthor. In all honesty, I never understood the hype. For some reason, it just felt so wrong for an author to profit so much by sharing a private relationship with a dying man. Books that target grief vultures always make me uncomfortable. Also, books that target life lessons packaged up in 208 pages make me suspicious.

MrsMalaprop I'm with you on this one. I found it an irritating, uncomfortable read. 7y
Jess_Read_This @MrsMalaprop I'm glad to hear I'm not alone in feeling this way about this book. I agree, it was quite an irritating read! 7y
Suzze I've never been a fan of his books, but I do love his newspaper columns. He is really very nice. He was a customer and I did his book sale for the premiere of the movie of this book. Every few books I try one again. Nope. Not my cup of tea. 7y

Jess_Read_This @Suzze I will say he has done a lot of great work in the city and suburbs for charity. He seems quite nice and personable in interviews. His books aren't for me. I do like reading his newspaper articles though as well! 7y
merelybookish I have never tried to read this book. I'm quite convinced I would hate. I kind of hate it as it is. 🙄 7y
Jess_Read_This @merelybookish Lol! It's safe to continue with that hatred. I can't offer any words in support of reading this book. 😂 You are in likeminded company. 😁 7y
