I'm impressed that you could not find even one small thing to criticize. That's a winner! I want to read this book that sounds like it is good advice on how to beat not only cancer but other things that we all struggle with in life. I'm excited to have gotten it for free and thankful to you for the review that lets me know it's one I want to read~!

It sounds like this man was hit so hard but fought back. But the best part of this review is reading that it wasn't just about survival but what we should do when we get another chance to live (and how not so squander it :wink: ). It sounds incredibly uplifting and could be sued as a means of encouragement to others. It's an inspiring story that I'm very interested in reading!

Thorough review, I'm always up for stories highlighting courage and survival, I also hope this won't be too heavy for me.

Reading this review makes me want to read the book, which I definitely would. I like that it's about what is going on in the world today and the ability to conquer against all odds. This is a motivational read which is sorely needed in this times. Thank you for this splendid review.

I don't do memoirs, but I read the review and I'm glad for the author. He must be a very optimistic, enthusiastic and a happy person with the complete support from his family because only such people in my opinion can overcome so many hardships in their lives and emerge even stronger. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

Thanks for such an insightful review.
The author has gone through so many ups and downs in his life that I admire him for his courage and determination.
His story gives hope to all those suffering from cancer.

420waystoreachthesun your review got me to really appreciate the book even before reading it. I love that the author does not wallow in self pity despite all the tough and trying situations he goes through. This is certainly a memoir of hope.

I do agree that the title of the work is very creative and does show his college background. This book reminds me of my elderly neighbor who beat cancer twice when all of the doctors told her that she had six months to live. I liked that the author used his story as an uplifting message to those struggling with their own problems. His spirit and reliance are inspiring.

Too depressing for my current state of mind, so I will have to pass this one.
