Me Before You

A book that continually is on my mind, and gave me a very different perpective in to a very touchy subject.

Trying to understand two completely opposed views which were so well presented, that at times you weren't sure what your own views were on the subject.

It was well read with understanding and feeling

All of them in their own way were memorable.

A book that tests your perceptions of the right to die with dignity, and the effect it has on those close to you, when they have to struggle with loss and face condemnation from others who knew nothing of the person concerned. A reality check.

I have been listening to many audiobooks lately, but this is the first time I feel the need to write a review. This is probably the best audiobook I have listened to, so far.
The story was moving, touching and gripping. At times, I simply couldn’t stop listening. Several times, I found myself laughing out loud or crying. The characters are extremely well-defined, but honestly I believe that what made of this audiobook my favorite, is the main narrator’s performance. I would listen to her voice for hours! She was able to interpret the characters superbly and for me it was always easy to understand which character was speaking. When it was time to choose my next audiobook, I was extremely sad to find out that she has not read many of them yet.

Please forgive my mistakes, English is not my first language… but audiobooks are a lovely way to improve it!

This is a well written, well researched story, but it is sad and very real, I realise this touches a lot of peoples lives!
I feel there should be some sort of warning so that readers now it is mostly about taking your own life but also about changing another persons belief in themselves.
Maybe this story is too close to home for me as I have a grandchild with a very serious heart problem!!
I wish that I had known more of what this story was about before I had purchased it!
I have to say that I was very reluctant to listen all the way to end but I did, it ended with a bitter sweet note but oh, how I wish I had never bought this story..

I don't "do" print versions of books. I am studying a degree and have 3 pre-school aged kids including a young baby. If I pick up a book, it's text. My reading for pleasure is all audio as I cook dinner, drive, nurse the baby and other chores.

There was a few laugh out loud moments that surprised the kids.

OMG, that New Zealand accent of the male nurse. It was soooooo so bad. Has that narrator even heard a NZ accent or was that a guess? Being an Aussie, we have lots of NZ expats living here and many on TV. I am very familiar with the accent and that had not one iota of similarity with it. I could have done much better. I hated that character because of it and just wanted him to shut up and go away. Almost spoiled the book.

The ending.....have the tissues handy.
