Book Review of The Diving Bell and the Butterfly : A Memoir of Life in Death

reviewed on
Helpful Score: 2


I can't say enough positive comments about this book. It takes my breath away, it's written so beautifully and the topics are so touching. I was constantly thinking about how Bauby dictated each letter, each phrase, and I was in awe during the entire book. I savored each little chapter and each thought. He uses language like art. I want to read the actual text in V.O. (version original), in French! The movie's VERY well done, too, by the way.
