Read the Book before watching the Film!

"I had a wife. Her name is Hailey. She's gone. And so am I."

I enjoyed reading this book: laughing at the life that the main character is forced to lead after such a horrible loss, identifying with some of the torturous emotions that tore the man to pieces, understanding the viscious need to be left alone and knowing the difficulties of "getting back out there".

It's an explanation of how men generally deal with misery. It's something I'm sure none of my male friends would have shared with me. So it's good to know how they feel and the tendencies they take when they are in this phase. It's a great eye opener about real men also needing to cry.

I recommend it to my dearest friends.

Niza! Niza! I was able to buy a copy of this book last Sunday. Sale sa National Bookstore, less than P200 lang. Dahil sa highly recommended mo ito, bumili ko. Di ko pa nga lang naumpisahan basahin. Pero excited na ko. Thanks! :)
