Born On A Blue Day: Inside the Extraordinary Mind of an Autistic Savant
Review Date: 2/27/2015


Very interesting and insightful view into the world of an Autistic Savant. The author is able to articulate his experience from an early age to adulthood that is really quite remarkable. His narrative provided me with a new way of appreciating the abilities of savants.


COVID-19 A Guide to Home Healthcare
Review Date: 11/5/2020


If you or someone you know is battling COVID-19 this book is for you. This book is a great resource for anyone who has COVID-19. The author shares his very personal journey battling the disease, secondary pneumonia infection and months long trek back to health. The chapters are like a reference manual that include battling the virus, respiratory health, cardiovascular health, drug options, nutritional supplements, use of oxygen and so much more. There is some helpful easy to understand data the author collected about oxygen levels, body weight, blood sugar levels and other adverse effects the corona virus does to your body. In addition to lessons learned as a patient this book provides practical easy to implement information that is a great resource for family and care givers of COVID-19 patients.

This was my first Randall Boyll book and I loved it. The premiss of hypnotizing someone and revealing a previous life of historical significance is creative. The story is a fast paced adventure on several parallel paths that is absolutely engaging and unpredictable. Boyll also captures the love of family and strong bond of marriage that can be a compelling motivation for action. A warning if you are a reporter or know one. They are not painted in the best light, save one towards the end of the book. If you like adventure and history you will like this book.
