I think this is the best book I've ever read and the first one. It's a beautiful and a sensitive story, although it's also very sad at the end. I was crying and I had mixed feelings. However, the story isn't very exiciting when he decided to die, because it's too difficult giving up the love of your life and making the decision to die hastily due to your illness but at the same time helping her achieve her goals and giving her back a little of so much she did for him. It was a very big gesture of gratitude and love.
