The Empathy Problem

You can't put it down... precise and propulsive... a real page-turner. A very personal, compassionate and intimate read... I sat up reading for most of the night, and even when I had turned the last page, I didn't want to put it down. So far in his life, Gabriel - selfish, arrogant and happy to be so - has only ever thought about two things: money and himself. When he's diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor, he doesn't see why anything should change. But as the tumor grows, something strange starts happening. Whether Gabriel likes it or not, he's becoming... nicer. A better person. And then he meets Caitlin. Before, he wouldn't even have glanced at her; now he's entranced. But real change takes time-- and time is something Gabriel just doesn't have. As each day brings him closer to his last, has the one opportunity for change come too late?.
