review 1: This was a great book. My only regret as a reader was that I wish it would have been better organized chronologically. That might have helped with the slight repetitiveness I experienced. Other than that, it was a gorgeous and very thoughtfully written memoir. Especially the parts about how lucky she was to have access to excellent care and an amazingly comprehensive insurance plan to cover the huge expense of her treatment. We should all be so lucky!
review 2: This is a highly-readable and engaging book about the after-effects of a brain injury--a brain injury that is completely unexpected for a healthy, young, fit, energetic woman who is not engaged in a risky activity (like motorcycling) or is not involved in a car accident. In other words, it could happen t... moreo any of us or to our loved ones, and this book will be a gift to those who are seeking understanding about the bewildering behaviors and challenges that can result from head injuries. I think this book might also be a great source of inspiration for those who are struggling. I was so glad that the author mentioned the number of veterans who are returning from combat regions with head injuries, because I think there's a dearth of understanding out there for these men and women who will face such a tough time integrating back into society. I can't imagine how the author managed to write this book so soon after her aneurysm (how can someone with a brain injury even spell "aneurysm?"--I have to look it up every time!). Hats off to her (but, as she says, keep those bicycle helmets on!). less
