Very easy reading. Like listening to someone tell a story. It deals with pain, adversity, descent into addiction and then, with help and willingness, overcoming the odds to be a productive, happy menber of society. I would recommend this book to anyone with an alcohol addition and/or a disability. It is truly inspiational.

This book was very easy to read and after I started it I couldn't put it down. As a alcoholic I found it hit right at home. Anyone who is disabled will find this book very helpful.I recommend this book to everyone.

This book held me captive throughout. It was the first book that I read all in one day. I just couldn't put it down.

Can't wait for the movie!!!!!

Anyone with a disability or an alcohol problem must read this book. I can't tell you how much this story has meant to me. I think it should be required reading in junior high and high school. It shows in a realistic way how alcohol can destroy many lives.

I have had the chance to read this book, and I felt he was to hung up on himself, he was always feeling sorry for himself and never gave a crap about how anyone else felt. He didnt care what he put his parents through or the rest of his family. I also had the chance to talk to him in person and believe me hes not changed at all, hes still self centered and he thinks the world owes him something, well a reality check Mr. Kearney the world dont owe you anything, and in order to succeed in this world you have to give some to get something in return. I understand why most of your family dont talk to you, its because you havent changed at all since your accident. I think you need to write one about how to have patients and keep friends. I also feel that just because you were and alcoholic and you blamed alot of your set backs on that, you could have gotten help if you really wanted to do it. It shouldnt have taken you that long to get into a rehab center. I feel if you werent so self-centered you would have gotten through alot less then what you had to put yourself through, and just took your parents advice and got the help you needed from the start. And one last thing, you actually brought all this on yourself and now you want pity from everyone who will listen to your sad sobbing story, well MR. Kearney grow up and face what you brought on yourself, its not everyone elses fault, you need to take the blame for what you have put yourself through during all this. Thanks for sending me the book, I had fun writing this review, and I hope you understand and learn something from this, Stop blaming everyone except yourself. Also I forwarded the book for my boyfriend to read Im sure he will be writing a review soon.
