This memoir centers on the author's wife,Mona. The book challenges readers to confront their mortality. One key takeaway from the book is the author's love for his wife.

I'm very interested in the superstitions described in the book, and I enjoy dark humor. I like Mona's picture as the cover.

I like that this book is well edited, with only a few minor errors. I admire the contents in this book, like the life of Mona, the author's wife, and such striking issues as death and brevity of life.

This memoir seems to be educative. It is about family. I like the way the author showed his love for his wife. Such a kind of love is hard to find. He even reached the extent of writing it for those of us who is interested in learning more about it. Congratulations on BOTD.

Memoirs are not my cup of tea but I've read the review and the book seems interesting. It doesn't only tells the story of a beautiful, courageous woman but also makes the reader think about his/her life, his/her fears and mortality. I'm sure the book will find its reader. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

The title of this memoir, 'LOGJAM represents deeper feelings of the writer' loss. It's great that he is able to recount the beautiful life and memories shared with his beautiful wife. I also like that the book is creative enough to keep the reader intrigued.

I love that despite the graveness nature of this memoir, the author managed to include humor in this book. I believe that even though the humor may appear twisted, people deal with their struggles in different ways, and this might have been a way for the author to be able to recount such a hard and painful experience.

This memoir presents such a poignant picture. Right now, I have bronchitis and am somewhat scared. However, I wish the author well as he heals and thank him for sharing such a love story. Your review was insightful.

This seems like a beautiful memoir that could serve as a eulogy for the author's wife. However, it's not something I would enjoy reading.
