This was a cover buy as I saw it in a shop going for £1, but I was not disappointed.
In the beginning I found it hard to latch onto however around mid way through I developed attachments to the characters.
This takes us though Louis' life through small anecdotes told by his brother while Louis is going through brain tumour treatment.
I didn't cry though I got moderately upset (especially the end few chapters).
'This is the life' has a depressing aura to it yet has its laugh out loud moments, therefore it's acquired 4 stars just because of the sheer heartfelt nature.
