“I bought this book after Douglas' audio book, "Let's Face It: 90 Years of Living, Loving and Learning." I was impressed with what an engaging writer he is and when I realized he had written a book about what it was like to recover from his stroke, I wanted to read it. This is a short, easy book (few pages, big print!) but filled with interesting obsevations on his symptoms and what he went through during recovery. I wouldn't say this was the best , most informative book I've ever read, but it was interesting.”

“I'm not that into nonfiction, but I have to say that I am fascinated with illness in a way, or at least, with people who overcome illness. I admire Kirk Douglas for being able to write about something painful. He shares what having a stroke taught him and ya never know--one day I might be in a similar position.”

“I really enjoyed this book. Who would have thought that Kirk Douglas was so poetic, so thoughtful, so inspirational? While this short volume does focus in on the changes a minor stroke brought to his life, he also manages to give some insights into his life, his family, and his soul. Anyone with older parents struggling with health issues (stroke or otherwise) will benefit from reading this book.”
