Jenni Frencham (jennifrencham) I read this one during the Morris/Nonfiction challenge. Has anyone else read it yet?


Ariel Birdoff (madam_pince) I liked this book. I learned a lot about his condition and how one lives with it. His humor is amazing and inspiring.


Angela Critics (quiltinglibrarian) I read this for the Nonfiction challenge. While I learned a lot about his condition and living with major disabilities in general, I felt like it suffered from a lack of overall structure. It's a compilation of blog posts, and that's how it reads. Still, I do recommend it with the warning that the humor is no holds barred!


Cindy | 9 comments This is a great book: informative, inspiring and full of life lessons as well as humor. Another book I only "found" through the challenge.


Emily Childress-Campbell (ms_librarian_) Overall I enjoyed this and laughed a lot while reading it. I think it will have a wide audience. I was bothered by his portrayal of kids with mental disabilities, though.


message 6: by Kim (new) - rated it 2 stars

Kim (kadykayf) I read this for the Nonfiction challenge too. I have mixed feelings about it. I liked the personal side of living with disabilities, but I found the narrator to be unlikable half of the time or more. I'll agree with Amy that his ego got in the way all too often.
