Great review, but wow, what a crazy thing to do! I suppose it’s one way of making you count your blessings.

Matt Crofton’s sense of humour also shines through. His truths can become difficult to read, but he easily balances it out with some much-appreciated comic relief. Mighty also features short journal entries and lovely photographs of Matt Crofton’s adventure, making this read even more personal. He connects with his reader - something I enjoyed immensely.
It sounds like the author did a wonderful job of balancing his struggles with a positive outlook that translates to the reader. Thanks for the recommendation!

Wow! I was impressed with your review, JR Mercier. You gave a very realistic and heartwrenching account of what the author went through having to deal with all these diseases. I enjoy reading books about how people conquer the obstacles in their lives. This one sounds like a must-read for me.

It definitely made it easier to read. His struggle with depression and PTSD is so sad, but the humour made it all bearable.

I just learnt the meaning of Histoplasmosis and Sarcoidosis. Other than that, I'm not sure Matt Crofton's story will really inspire me, as I've read a lot of similar stories. Nice review.

What an intriguing review! Mighty seems like a raw and honest account of struggles faced by those met with unbearable circumstances. Matt Crofton's willingness to bare his soul and experiences is commendable.

I am so glad I read your review! This sounds like a really inspiring book. And, your review is thoughtful and balanced. I really appreciate that. Healing PTSD is such a challenge and this guy sounds like he has really succeeded at integrating some change and healing. Thanks for the great review.
