11.10.2017 - Millard Salter's Last Day

Millard Salter's Last Day by Jacob M. Appel

Thanks to NetGalley, Gallery Books, and Jacob Appel for the opportunity to read and review this book.

I enjoyed this book - with a few caveats. Millard Salter is a psychologist who is turning 75 and has decided to end his life. He's not sick - he's just seen his share of people at the end of their life with no recourse so has decided to take the matter in his own hands. But of course his last day doesn't go as planned, as he meets with people that give him pause about his decision. He tries to set things right that he feels he has regrets about - meeting an ex-wife, trying to counsel a son.

But the author seemed to go on tangents on a multitude of subjects - and make sure you have your dictionary nearby to try and figure out some of the words he uses!

Still in all - a good book with lots to ponder
