review 1: Brian Boyle is an amazing story of how a boy who was told he would never be able to walk, swim, or be the way he was before the accident proved to others that he could persevere and prove them wrong. Little by little he got better even with small things like blinking or saying hello he showed that he wasn't going to quit. This shows to prove that even in the most complicated situations like Brian was in you can still achieve your goals. In the beginning state of his physical therapy he was barely able to lift a broom stick and curl a 2.5 pound dumb bell, now after extensive physical therapy and hope he was able to swim and even compete in the Hawaii Ironman Triathlon.
review 2: Good. Inspritional. It's also unreal. Not in reality, but it seems like it should
... more be. What he went through and how quickly he healed. Although, that's only a small part of it. Going from no training to the ability to complete Kona Ironman with such a short amount of training is staggering even without considering how soon it was after his accident (you know, the one he was a vegetable/not able to walk/never going to swim again accident-depending on how far you are in his story). Fun to read. less
