Richard Cohen is a man who has gone through so much and is honest about it. This book helps those with an illness know they are not alone and let the family members see what the person with the illness may be silently suffering through.

I was not impressed with Richard's Cohen's writing - it seemed too choppy to me, too many short sentences without any substance too them. And I felt he WHINED the entire time. All he talked about was how angry he was that he had MS. I know TONZ of people loved this book, but I'm not one of them.

I really appreciated Mr. Cohn's memoir. He speaks openly about many issues of MS patients. Great book!

I enjoyed this book but not as much as I thought I would. But it was interesting to see what it's like to live with such a severe illness from someone who's going through it.
