As a student nurse you are expected to research and review an awful lot amount of literature over the duration of the course, which as time often prevails, I tend just to read the relevant parts, however Communicating with the dying and their relatives I read from cover to cover and back again, not only did I find it a very useful resource for an assignment, but helped me understand more fully the prospects of dying and how it is percieved. A very informative yet comfortable and easy read, and it is a pleasure to recommend this book to you.
