A different approach to the standard disabled biography. Nancy Mairs is very blunt, and at times shocking in her honesty. Her point of view is less that of a person with MS, and more from the approach of a women living life from a wheelchair. I appreciate her blunt appraisal and the various affects of an obvious disability while living life. ( )

A lot of other books refer to this book as the authoritative book in the biographies-of-people-with-MS category, and I think I went into it with above-average expectations due to this. The first few chapters almost had me putting it away, but it redeemed itself in the later chapters. I'm not sure there was anything about it that really bothered me, it just wasn't above-average like I went into it expecting. A fairly good, if inconsistent, MS-related-biograpy. ( )
