Hoo boy...this was a hard one for me. North & South, Dirty Dancing, and Ghost were integral parts of my childhood and adolescence, and I have loved Patrick Swayze for as long as I can remember because of them. This book made me unexpectedly emotional, particularly as I chose to listen to the audiobook, read by Patrick himself. I highly recommend reading it this way, if you get a chance. Patrick is very good at reading, particularly given how sick he was at the time it was recorded. It feels very natural, like you're just listening to him tell stories about his life, rather than being read to.
I saw that the release date for this book was a couple weeks after Patrick passed away. I can't even imagine how much more emotional I would have been had I picked this up when it first came out.
