Review of Freefall pushing it to the edge

[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Freefall pushing it to the edge" by Donnie MacDougall.]
Freefall–Pushing It to the Edge centers on Donnie MacDougall's accident while skydiving 75, 000 feet and his recovery process. Before this, Donnie spends the first few chapters telling about his family, noting how he takes a special liking for his dad and how his dad's profession as a truck driver and an electrical-mechanical engineer afforded him so much fun and opportunity, even shaping his likeness for plant machinery and truck business.
One of the remarkable takeaways from this book is Donnie's clear sense of purpose and fulfillment. He likes to hang out with his friends, gets involved in things that make him happy, and desires to have every worthy experience while he can. An instance of this personality can be seen in what Donnie did while working a painting-decorating job with Hally. That eventful trip to Germany mattered a whole lot to him, and he was not willing to allow anything to get in the way.
The above awareness helps us understand the underlying factors that made Donnie give in to the ill-fated skydiving session that caused him several severe injuries, despite having a solid reason to excuse himself. But in all this, we see how Donnie's positive mindset about life, his resilience, the support of his wife Marion and other family members and friends, and the intervention of health professionals like John Page, Raymond, Carol, Paul McKenna, and Dr Richard Bandler helped him record amazingly uncommon improvements, much to the astonishment of those who earlier thought he would never be anything more than a "vegetable."
So, this is basically an account of a young man's passion to live life to the fullest, the challenges he encountered along this path, and his resoluteness to never give up on himself and on whatever life has to offer him. I recommend this book to those who like to read personal and inspirational stories and to anyone facing any kind of battle. There is always a way out. You can, just like Donnie, choose to "maintain a positive outlook on life and concentrate on the things you can do, not those you can’t" (Chapter 6).
This is a well-edited work. I found just two grammatical errors in it. Freefall–Pushing It to the Edge, written by Donnie MacDougall, earns five out of five stars for its depth and motivational tips. I didn't dislike anything in the book and have no reason to rate it lower.
