I cried, I smiled, and I laughed when I read this book. A very inspiring book.
This book tells a story about Sam, 11 years old, who had leukemia and has no much time to live.
One day , he decided to write a book before he dies.
This book contains lists of simple questions, such as:
1. How do we know that we already dead ? (bagaimana kita tahu kita sudah mati)
2. Why God made children sick ? (kenapa Tuhan membuat anak-anak jatuh sakit)
3. If there is someone who not really dead , but people think that he is already dead , what happened ? Is he going to burried alive ? (bagaimana kalau ada orang yang sebenarnya belum mati , tapi dikira sudah mati oleh orang-orang lain ? apakah dia akan dikubur hidup-hidup ?)
4. Is it hurt when we died ? (sakitkah kalau mati ?) , etc .
So simple but it's so hard to answer. Those kinds of questions tells us how innocent Sam as a boy. But then, he is so wise and so real. Sam loves facts and he wants to be a scientist. Actually he has some things that he wanted to do before he died, and with his friend and his family, he could do all of things that he wanted to do.
Also , this book contains story of Sam's life , pictures , and facts that he collected for weeks.
This book is inspiring, because we can see how strong Sam in facing his death and we cannot ignored the fact that he's still a boy and innocent.
Through his questions, we can sense his innocence in asking such as simple questions but nobody can answer it, but he determined to find the answers.
Afterall , he died peacefully with his family around .
You have to read it , guys ..
Enjoy !
PS: So sorry for all my mistakes in spelling and grammar .
cheers ^^
