“I really like the simplicity, honesty, accessibility, sincerity and integrity used in the style of the book.”

“So in the book, the things that people said, and things and the goals and stuff they’ve done to succeed in what they do, it helps, it does help if you sit and you read and you look how people fight through what they’re going through, what their disabilities are, and how they fight to get to where they want to be. I think that helps.”

“Yeah, I think it’s quite good from that point of view, especially if you’re in the early stages of an illness, because you tend to feel you’re the only one. It’s only when you’ve met lots of other people with the same condition that you begin to realise that it’s not just you.”
