Excellent review, although, unlike the reviewer, I found lots of errors- but maybe my Kindle version downloaded incorrectly. This lengthy memoir is thought-provoking and definitely encouraging. If a man who is completely paralysed can recover, this gives me trust and courage.

The complete and inspirational memoir and review presented a person of great determination after going through repeated failures in other areas of his life. The review clearly reflected the battle and the background of Mr. Mccord in an informative way.

The willpower that Mike showed during the tough times he had was admirable. I believe that was crucial to his healing too.

This is a story that, for once, left me almost speechless, just reflecting on the life lessons learned through the pages. Author Michael McCord will change the way you think about many things—the ways in which you move about in the world, the way that you view your life, the hope you have for your future…and everything in between.

People who overcome such difficult life events, have lots of reasons to write a book and share their experiences. I truly admire these kind of people.

This book will serve as an inspiring read to others who need it. Mike's story and his perseverance is truly commendable. I don't read non-fiction, so I'll skip this one.

Accomplishing the impossible is no small thing. However, some inexplicable miracle supports the recovery from such a severe accident. The little machine shows that we cannot underestimate anyone. Thanks for the review.

Definitely not my cup of tea from any angle you care to look at this book. It is literally the worst fit imaginable for me, not just non-fiction, but memoir at that, not only related to a serious medical condition, but self-praise as well. No offence, but I prefer to skip this book and congrats with BOTD, anyway!

You know! Life can be challenging and discouraging. In the midst of all these, mike didn't give up. It then tells us that nothing really is impossible no matter how impossible it might seen. A well written review and I want to share in the reviewer's thought of recommending this book to the category mentioned. Weldon BOTD.
