The Death Of Ivan Ilych

don't get me wrong... it's well-written, i get the concept and it's an interesting story, i totally understand why this is a life-changing book for some. however, these were all things i already considered and thought about when i was 12 so it just didn't hit the spot for me. in summary, before he dies, ivan realizes that he hasn't really lived. the end. good book, just not for me
