A Dying Wish...What would you do if your best friend's last wish was to help him escape from a hospice so he could "take care of a few things?" The initial dilemma for Dennis Sullivan is not the anger he will incur from Jack's family, or how to manage a terminally-ill curmudgeon who mistakenly believes he knows everyone. He can even humor Jack's desire to become like a mayfly - one of those nasty spring bugs with a lifespan of only a few days, but are unforgettable monsters.The true question is why help someone who was not there for him when his own wife was dying and he needed a friend?Guilted into this late odyssey, Dennis soon discovers the road to hell is truly paved with good intentions and it takes courage, faith, and a generous dose of anarchy to change the destination. He finds his best friend's "bucket list on steroids" is not a tale of self-absorption at all, but rather a well-considered plan to touch his estranged family and seek forgiveness. And Jack plans the biggest makeover of all for Dennis. Chasing Mayflies is a "R.I.P." roaring, hilarious journey that matches an intriguing plot with a thought-provoking message that will resonate with your soul long after the story ends.… (plus d'informations)

I liked the message of this book, and I enjoyed the flashbacks to Dennis's past. However, I found the rest of the book fairly boring. I would not personally recommend it. ( )

I received a copy of Chasing Mayflies from LibraryThings early reviewers. I took some time to finally write my review because I did not enjoy reading the book but I think I was just busy and was trying to just get it read. That does not make for a good attitude. Now after several weeks to let the story sit with me I did like the characters and the story line although I was very frustrated with the character's decissions a lot of the time but that was what made the story what it was. All in all the ending was good and it was a satisfying read. ( )
