Book Reviews of The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (Vintage International) (Vintage International)
Book Review: A fascinating insight into human endurance.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the sort book which you will read in one sitting. This is more than an autobiography, it's a diary of a life shattering event. The tragic story is written without self pity. Jean-Dominique was left paralysed after a stroke leaving him only able to comunicate with his left eye. The book was actually dictated by him in hospital ward to his secretary to whom he dedicated the book. This is a true tale which is unforgetable and leaves the reader with a sense of wonder at one man's determination. So stop moaning about not having any money, or the state of the weather, read this and appreciate what you do have.
