Summary
With all his family and friends gone, 100-year-old Murray McBride is looking for a reason to live. He finds it in Jason Cashman, a 10-year-old boy with a terminal heart defect and a list of five things he wants to do before he dies. Together, they race against the limited time each has left, ticking off wishes one by one. But when tragedy strikes, their worlds are turned upside-down, and an unexpected gift is the only thing that can make Jason's final wish come true.

Disappointing
Nice enough story but the narration is terrible, as the emphasis is misplaced time after time - So irritating! I wouldn't recommend.

The characters were brilliant.
Loved the story. The characters were so believable and easy to love.
However . . . The reader ‘s tone was very soporific - no light and shade and less fluent than usual readers.

Very satisfying listening
When this began I wasn’t sure about the narrator as it seemed rather flat but as the story progressed it made sense. A real tearjerker with a ‘surprise’ ending that shouldn’t be surprising. Loved it.

Fantastic story
The nicest book I have ever listened to, it has a good story with some laughs, some tears. Would recommend this book, couldn’t wait to take my dog for a walk so that I could listen to the next chapter.

Wow!
I have just finished this book and enjoyed every second of it. I am left in tears of both sadness and joy. A very unusual story line which makes a change from my crime stories. Mr Murray Mcbride is a wonderful character and his love and caring for a 10 year old sick boy has given them both something special. An exceptional good read.
