Pandemic is something that seems quite impossible when you think about it. It sounds surreal to even talk about the time when COVID was at its peak. I believe every one of us had a different approach to the virus. What we experience and went through during the horrible time when fear held a strong place in our daily livelihood.
The pandemic is something that seems quite impossible when you think about it. It sounds surreal to even talk about the time when the coronavirus was at its peak. I believe every one of us has had a different approach to the virus – what we experience and went through during the horrible time when fear holds a strong place in our daily livelihood.
When I came across this book, On The Deathbed I was thinking to myself that I should probably not read it because well, it is going to talk about similar events if not the same thing regarding the pandemic. But I had a change of heart. Time reading a book is never wasted because whatever the book might be, there is always something to hold on to and take back. This is the power of a book. It makes you feel things that might seem impossible to you once upon a time but upon reading, your imagination runs wild. The pages of a book take you to places that you never thought you could reach. I experienced the same with this book.
It is quite interesting to read a book that talks about recent major happenings in the world. All the more, I find it intriguing to read about the experiences of another individual who went through the similar difficulties as me. To be honest, this book is quite gut-wrenching. It reminds me of all the horrible situations in my hometown that have happened during COVID.

I know about the COVID and the destruction it caused. But not as a firsthand person in contact with the virus. The author has brilliantly compiled his thought process while he struggled between life and death. It takes a lot of courage and strength to be able to write down your struggles. I admire and praise the author for his strong spirit.
The one thing that grasped my attention in this book, On The Deathbed, is the fact that the author did not lose his sense of positivity despite going through so much. This is where the story becomes inspiring because some people who had COVID already had their first death when they knew they contacted the virus. And from then on, they had no will to live because in a way they believe themselves to die eventually because of the virus. The author shows us that the virus not only affects its patients physically but also mentally. It takes strong willpower to push oneself out of the deep trenches that one has already built in one’s mind. And the author has been able to push through.
What the author has revealed in this book is something very intimate and personal. You will not get this from anyone except from that certain someone who had to go through the ultimate worse and one that has lived to tell the tale. The author shows us the inner workings of the pandemic, something that you cannot find on the news.
I strongly suggest you add On The Deathbed to your TBR because it certainly made an impression on me, and I know it will make one for you.
