Crit Epithetical Books My Name is Joe

If I'd ever recommend a book, it has to be this oneI read this book as part of a personal project to search for books in the 3 stars range, but which actually should be 5 stars, at least for me.

This is definitely a hidden gem.What I liked the most about the book is how believable Joe is as a character. How the author can convey such complex emotions and yet one

To see my full review:http://abookvacation.com/2014/02/13/r...This relatively short read takes an in-depth look at one mans life once an end date is unceremoniously stamped upon it. Like Queen Latifah in Last Holiday, Joe has just learned that he is going to die. But unlike the comedic movie, Joe does not have a happy endingthere is no mistake made here. Suffering from pancreatic cancer, he is instructed to get his affairs in order, sending him on a spiraling journey that surveys his
