would you buy it? would you read the whole book to see what your life is going to be like? would you read it day by day as your day is going on? would you read all the way to end to find out when you are going to die and how? as for me, no i wouldnt. oh, i would be tempted to, but i wouldnt. i like not knowing. i think if i read my future, i would be bored with life. there would be nothing to look forward to. and i definitly wouldnt look at the time,date, or details of my death. that would only make me count down the days, and more than likely (i already get like this when there is a day that i am not looking forward to) be unhappy and dreading every day that passes. it MIGHT make me fulfill dreams and wishes and goals that i want to do before that date...but why am i not living my life like that already????

no i wouldn't. I know that it will be nice to know what will happen in the future. but i think it will only hinder us. I believe that our future isn't written yet, we write our future because of our decisions today and I believe that mistakes only strengthen us and knowing this, if we read a book that tells the future we avoid making this mistakes and therefore do not learn from them. Life would mean nothing at all then if we do not learn from it.

I wouldn't read the book because I believe that life changes all the time. I don't believe that we have one road that we are going to follow, different choices take us down different paths and no body knows what choices we will make so the book couldn't be accurate.
