Synopsis

A fascinating journey into the art of dying well. Jackie McMakin describes what led her, as a healthy woman in her late eighties, to choose what she calls a "natural death" by voluntarily stopping to eat and drink (VSED). A timely book, it delves into the question everyone over sixty asks themselves, "Is there an alternative to being warehoused in front of a TV, draining family resources, and unable to enjoy life just because you can feed yourself and your 'Do Not Resuscitate 'doesn't apply?" A brave book that charts a new course and serves as an antidote to a medical establishment bound to keep life going at any cost.

I picked this book up because of what happened last week, but I'm not letting any kind of bias change how I feel about this book. I completely disagree with those conflating the author's history (that you dislike because of a parasocial relationship with a celebrity) with their present work. With th......more

So let me start with a little disclaimer; I was never a 1D fan and had no clue who the author was up until a few days ago, so when I began ‘Looking Forward’, it was completely unbiased with no skin in the game. That being said, this was a horrible read. The book reads like a collection of badly writ......more
