And these are they. My final moments. They say a warrior must always be mindful of death, but I never imagined that it would find me like this . . .

Japanese teenager Sora is diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease). Lonely and isolated, Sora turns to the ancient wisdom of the samurai for guidance and comfort. But he also finds hope in the present; through the internet he finds friends that see him, not just his illness. This is a story of friendship and acceptance, and testing strength in an uncertain future.

I bought this book since few years ago but it was just sitting on my bookshelf.I've been picked this up and put it down all over again few times until I finally managed to finish this. I love Japan. Words can't describe how much I love this country and its cultures. So when I read the synopsis of this book, I knew I had to pick this book up. I'm always curious about the story that set in Japan (with Japanese cultures in it) that's written by a non-Japanese author.But too bad, although the story

Review copy: Final copy provided by publisherAfter reading the summary, I wondered if this was one of those crying books. There are many people who seek out the books that require tissues, but I am not one of them. Puffy eyes and a stuffy nose after reading sessions is not the result I am usually seeking. The unique plot seemed worth the risk though.Before his illness, Sora enjoyed playing baseball and dreamed of being a professor. After his diagnosis though, he doesnt know who he is and how to

This is such a beautiful, unique book.

I was really loving the first portion of the book, but things quickly turned for the worse towards the end. I honestly have no idea how to feel about this book.

I really thought that I would love this and now I'm here feeling unsure.

So why was the book set in Japan? Why did she choose to portray a 17-year-old with ALS instead of someone older (perhaps as a parent of a teen to keep it a YA book)? And who exactly is the audience for this book? The theme is for older teens

If you don't read this book you're missing out on something truly special. Beautiful. ♥*** EDIT **The I-love-this-book-so-much-there-arent-the-words-review: Very occasionally I read a book that I so utterly and completely fall in love with that when it comes to writing my review all I have is a long list of words such as; beautiful, stunning, magnificent, breath-taking, amazing, fantastic, marvellous and perfect. This is one of those books.The second thing I did after finishing The Last Leaves
