The Five Wishes of Mr. Murray McBride de Joe Siple
Intense book. Sad. Recommend it.
This was a heartwarming story of an unlikely friendship that develops between Murray McBride, a grumpy centenarian and a 10-year-old boy, Jason Cashman, who has a failing heart. Neither expects to live much longer but when Murray decides to become Jason's Big Brother, a wonderful bond grows as Murray is determined to help him achieve the five wishes he has on his bucket list.
While the story made me smile and cry, I didn't think it was as good as "A Man Called Ove" or "The Brilliant Life of Eudora Honeysett". These two novels had more depth, humour and poignancy than "The Five Wishes of Mr Murray McBride". However, it was still a sweet read.… (mais)

Great novel. Easy reading but a deep subject.
At 100 years old, Murray McBride has outlived everyone he's ever loved. But when he meets Jason Cashman, a 10-year-old boy with a terminal illness, Murray may learn something about finding meaning in life as he helps his young friend fulfill his last wishes.

Great book to read about a 100 year old man that makes friends with a 10 year old boy that needs a heart transplant. It made a difference in both of their lives. Was a bit slow at times but we’ll worth reading on through.
