Why read it?
1 author picked Long Goodbye as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I couldn’t put this book down. It is a well-written, riveting story told by the lawyer who represented the Cruzans in their legal battle to remove the feeding tube from their daughter, Nancy, who had been in a persistent vegetative state for years.
If you enjoy medical and law topics as I do, then you will certainly enjoy this book. Moreover, it made me really think about the ethics of life and death.
From Leila's list on death from a different perspective.
