If you’re looking for a book to make you appreciate waking up this morning without any major illnesses, this is the one. Cody’s a gifted writer, and he gives a blow-by-blow account of what happens when your body is failing you. As you’d expect, it’s not pretty. Despite that, there are beautiful meditations on art, music, death, familial bonds, and dirty, dirty sex.
This is certainly worth reading, but it’s not for the faint of heart. Recommended.
