Review:
Booklist Even about disease and pain, Price speaks beautifully. A special book.
Chicago Tribune An achingly eloquent account...By turns stirring and funny, anguished and joyful.
Daily News (New York) Price writes sincerely and openly, without a trace of self-pity... a clear-eyed book that is as realistic as a sawed-off shotgun. It is wise, and humbling, and it bears reading before it is needed.
Los Angeles Times Book Review The man who emerges from these pages is feisty, gritty, angry...and most appealing.
