Editorial Reviews

"I read this book by accident. It came highly recommended and so I thought I should at least take a look at the first page. From then on I kept reading ... and laughing out loud ... and nearly missed my station when I was sitting on the train with the tears running down my face and not caring what the other passengers thought..." John Passmore (Daily Telegraph columnist)

"I don’t think I have ever felt so connected to a book before, a book that clasped my heart strings and wouldn’t let go." S.A French

"Bloody Brilliant, I haven't read a book this quickly in years, Just could NOT put it down. It is a true story of LOVE, Inspiration, Determination, and Pure Belief. Anyone going through cancer right now this book would be an ray of Light/Hope for you. I cried and Laughed my way through it." C. May

"Well written, true, meaningful, makes you look at your life differently." John D. Lodge

"Wow! An excellent write-up. The story was touching and inspiring. Believe me this one of the most touching and inspiring stories I have read throughout my years as a freelancer. It was a captivating piece. Excellent!" Beatrice Ada

"It will make you laugh and cry. An inspiring story of never giving up. It has lots of up and downs, but the love and humour never goes. " Gordon Parton

"Inspiring. Not only is this book an inspiration and education for anyone who is unfortunate enough to have cancer touch their lives. It is also a very personal and uplifting read." Dawn Meadows

"A journey to hell and back again. This book is an Ode to pure and unconditional love , even in the darkest moments in life. A perfect balance between laughter and pain , between the light and the dark. Not only is it very powerful written out of first hand experience, but it also is a strong message for Hope, for never giving up. You become very humble when you read, feel and imagine the hardship of fighting Cancer. It gives you the tools to look beyond doctors, science and 'common practice'. It guides you to a world of energy, love and feeling that proves to be an alternative and very real way to deal with the power of the mind : mind over Matter." Luc Ebinger
