My impression of this book was blurred with tears. He had so much and lost it so quickly. But as the title says he rose and walked. He had a large group of friends who helped and supported him to get out of the bed and made it able to stand and look forward instead of staring at the floor. I admire him greatly. I need to read this again because I am in a similar situation and need to remember how he did this. I want to look up at my familiy's face again without them having to bend over and talk to me. This book is not an inspirational book per se, but I wasn't in this situation when I read it the first time. It will make you cry but then feel the joy he felt. It's written well, If you want to feel the joy of a human overcoming, read this. It would be hard to give up.
