5.0 out of 5 stars Very poignant especially now..., 30 Sep 2009
This review is from: The Time of My Life (Hardcover)
I pre-ordered this book having spotted its imminent release on the day of Patrick Swayze's untimely death from pancreatic cancer. I devoured it in one sitting, as it's a well written story of a man who despite his own (admitted) faults loved his wife and was passionate about everything he did. The foreward paticularly was very poignant to read as he spoke so positively about beating the cancer, and I'm sure this will be updated for the paperback version.

Patrick Swayze was a fantastic dancer, actor, singer, husband and cowboy and I'm certain his memory will live on in his films. Dirty Dancing, Ghost and Point Break were 3 of my favourites, and the book has now inspired me to find a few others that I'd not yet seen.

For anyone who wants to get to know the real man behind THAT body (!) and a real love story, then read this book. You will not be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining and Inspiring!, 19 Oct 2009
By Susan Donlon - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Time of My Life (Hardcover)
This memoir is a precious gift for all to read about Patrick Swayze. I have watched Dirty Dancing more often that I can remember and in that movie Patrick played an all around good guy who discovers how to be caring and loving. As with many of the characters he played, Patrick was passionate and caring in real life as well. The book shares the love story between Patrick his wife, Lisa. The pair were inseparable and stood as one in facing Patrick's health challenges till the very end. A very inspiring and heartfelt reading. If you found Patrick's book inspiring, I also recommend the book by Ariel & Shya Kane's "How to Create a Magical Relationship: The 3 Simple Ideas that Will Instantaneously Transform Your Love Life" and their internet talk show called "Being Here". The Kanes write of how your own life can be a grand adventure, moment by moment.

Both great books, by great authors, write of how life is not to be taken for granted but rather savored and enjoyed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, 6 Oct 2009
This review is from: The Time of My Life (Hardcover)
One of the best books I have read in a long time. I could not put it down and read it in a day. He was an absolutely beautiful human being with an immense amount of talent, strength, will power, passion and love for his wife, it is so heart warming but also very sad at the sometime. You really feel for his wife Lisa in such a sad time of loss for a man she clearly loved very much even when things were difficult.
I loved all of his films and will now be looking out for other films that he mentioned in their book.

This is a must buy.
