Title: Depending on what you expect from the book.....
Review: When I learnt about Mr. Bauby's situation. I decided immediately that I have to read his book. I expected that I should be able to learn some lessons from someone who is approaching a final stage in his life. Lessons on what I should do or prepare when I still can. In this respect, the book disappoints me. There are very few lessons covered which we can learn from. What Mr. Bauby is trying to tell us is that the Butterfly (i.e. the mind) can still fly freely unrestricted by the paralyzed body. Except for some chapters, this book is just an ordinary book written by an ordinary writer who is in a perfect health. Depending on what you expect, the book might be a good inspirational source for anyone who is in Mr. Bauby's position.
