4.0 out of 5 stars Eye-opening and thought provoking
I purchased this when I became friends with a man in a chair. I think it helped me understand better some of what he has had to deal with, and I hope it has made me a better friend to him.

3.0 out of 5 stars as a recent parapalegic
the observations were more clinical than personal but I still was able to gain some understanding about the things I am experiencing and that was my goal when I bought the book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Still Lives! How condescending!, June 6, 2008
Right off the mark - What a ridiculous and condescending title. I'm a quad and my life is not "still". Not when I'm going to work as a physician & not when I'm chasing around my two year old! People with weakness or paralysis are not "in chairs" - many need to USE wheelchairs to get around - just like someone without a spinal cord injury might use a bike to go a long distance.
Maybe we should leave the writing about people with spinal cord injuries to those who've had one - say, Christopher Reeves for example!
