Official Review: Climb That Mountain For Heaven's Sake

[inaramid]

This sounded so emotional. TBI strikes too close to home for me. It just might be another organ, but the brain contains the center of everything -- your sense of self, your life functions...the ability to use language, to comprehend language...the thought of losing even just one of those is frightening. I commend the author for "conquering her mountain."

I agree. It boggles the mind how people with TBI have to relearn everything! And so many times, they look "normal" on the outside. They struggle on the inside. It really makes you count your blessings. Thanks for commenting.

Sounds like a very sad and inspiring story. I hope she got all her memory back.

You'll just have to read the story to find out. Thanks for commenting.

I have some personal experience with brain deficits and as Inaramid said, the brain is everything. I really like that this author included personal testimony from her people. That is a creative way to find out so much more about a person. We often don't realize how others see us; it is a whole other dimension. Thank you for the thoughtful introduction to this intriguing book.

I agree. It's fascinating, though, how much can be relearned. Not easily. I think you'd appreciate this book. Thanks for commenting.

Thanks for another well written, insightful review. Although I like memoirs, this one seems too sad for my taste. Also, you hit the nail on the head regarding this genre. It's so true that memoirs often don't flow smoothly due to jumps around in the timeline.

Thanks bookowlie. You are so sweet. It's rare a memoir that flows smoothly from past to present.

Yeah I guess I'll have to read it.

Sounds like a real inspiration story with a real message to deliver. I was recently bitten by a memoir, Bama Boy, and now I'm leery. This one sounds much better. I'm not one for emotional books but I want to learn more about this story. Thanks for the great review!

I love how you say you were bitten by it. I think you'd like this one. It has a lot of different elements to it. Thanks for commenting.

Thanks for your review. I know someone who had a brain injury a few years ago, and although not as severe as the author, she has faced many challenges. It has been inspiring to watch her progress, as I'm sure it was to read about the author's determination and progress in the book. I look forward to reading it, and especially like the title. Apparently she's had a good sense of humor to help her get through.

Anything having to do with the brain is not easy no matter how bad it is. We take our brains for granted. Thanks for commenting. I hope you enjoy.

I sympathize with the writer's experience. Suffering a Brain injury must have been really hard for her.

Thanks stalliongirlke. I agree.
