4.5

VERY INSIGHTFUL!!! not just into a doctor's life and their relationship with their patients & their confrontation with life and death everyday! But also, into HIS life, Paul's beautiful life & his philosophies that were astounding. Overall, an emotional ride, especially the latter part!

reflective sad

4.0

A short book, but not a quick read. I had to take breaks to process. The epilogue absolutely wrecked me.
