Simply put, this book is a true inspiration. Whenever I hit a brick wall, I pick it up and remind myself that they are not there to stop me. Those brick walls are there to remind me to work hard for what I want. When people ask the age old question "If you could have dinner with any three people who would they be?", Randy Pausch is the first on my list. I hope his family is comforted in knowing that he has touched so many people. Thank you for sharing his story.

Randy's words have touched many and will continue to touch many more. I will be purchasing a copy of his book for each of my three children to read when they are a little older. He teaches many life lessons in his "Last(ing) Lecture."

Randy Pausch sounds like he was an outstanding man. Although he was undergoing the treatments for cancer and was very close to death, he still did what ever it took to make sure that he'd do his Last lecture and get his point across to the many students who had attended his seminar. Randy never let his cancer get the best of him, and he was the most outstanding teacher there ever was. He didn't just teach his students about how to be good at what they do, but he tought them how to be creative and always do what they believed in. R.I.P RANDY PAUSCH

I think, over all the last lecture was a great book and movie. It showed the passion of a man who was dying, and he didn't even take dying in a bad way. Randy lived his life to the fullest, and always went after what he wanted. Even when he was close to death, anyone who reads this book or has seen this movie, will defiantly be deeply moved as I was.

I read this book for summer school and it was great! It has really inpired me to become a nbetter person and try to accomplish my goals. It's also made me be more possitive about life and appreciate a lot more the people and things I hold close to my heart. This is one of my top 5 favorite books and I will always think about it when I'm giving up on something and I thank Randy Pauch for that :)

This book is really inspiring and vibrant. It really touched my heart how Randy was dying and he had such a positive attitude towards thigs. He left his kids a very detailed and helpful lecture. I learned a lot from it. I used to get mad when people like teachers and my parnet's would push me into doing things but Randy there was a quote in the book that said something about when a person isn't pushing you hard enough, they've given up on you and that is really true. I liked this book a lot and I don't usually like to read but this book is incedible.

This book was great. IT was a sad story, but Mr. Pausch made the best of it and not only is he a great influence on his own family and friends but also so everyone who reads it. The world isn't the nicest place, and his book focouses on all the great things in life, instead on negative. Which had to be hard. But I'm thankful he wrote the book. Take care! God Bless <3

I had to read this book for school, and I thought it was amazing. Randy didn't preach the fact that he was sick and dying. He lived his life with his wife and kids and did everything he wanted to do in the short amount of time. And I thought that was incredible strength on his part. And he will forever be remembered.

I read The book and it really touch me. I have a brother thats going thru chemotherapy because he was diagnosed testicular cancer. In one chapter in which he talked about his wife and him in the doctors office and seeing the tumors. And how they felt about him not having enough time to alive. When they thought everything was going alright. Thats how i feel when my brother every time he goes to the doctor. That he might get a shocking news like that.

I just got through reading this book yesterday, I may only be 17 years old but it really touched me. My family and friends lost a very special person in May due to Pancreatic Cancer and it was the hardest thing to see him go through that. I'm truly sorry for anyone who has to go through it. I gave the book to his wife, and I believe it will touch her more than it did me. I think everyone should read this book, and I hope that it blesses you like it has others and me. I miss my friend dearly and I wish he could still be here with us, he was a huge inspiration to me and always will be. Thanks, God Bless!
