A guest review from Teen Room Staff Jeremy!
In this short but very powerful novel Randy Pausch discusses the time leading up to and during his final lecture at Carnegie Mellon. He talks about the hardships he has overcome, such as finding out he had ten tumors in his liver, and the ways he overcame them, through writing this lecture, for example. His incredibly upbeat and positive attitude goes against all preconceived ideas of how terminal cancer patients act.
I would recommend this book to anyone, and I mean ANYONE. The sheer optimism of Randy up to his final days is nearly overwhelming. It's too bad he's not with us anymore, but wherever he is I'm sure he's having fun.

P.S. This is a summer reading book for Seniors at Waupaca High School!
