Summary: Inspirational Human Spirit
Review: Hamilton Jordan's No Such Thing As A Bad Day is a must-read for anyone who has battled cancer or knows someone who has been touched by this illness in some capacity. Jordan's ability to thoughtfully reach cancer survivors with compassion and good humor allows the reader to accompany him through his remarkable victory over cancer. Furthermore, his relentless battle is carefully woven through an exciting historical and political narrative. As Jimmy Carter's former chief-of-staff, Jordan's democratic voice and unique vision provide a thoughtful lens through which to examine our nation's growth. From a chance meeting with Martin Luther King Jr to a good-spirited rivalry with a young Bill Clinton, Jordan captures the pulse of a nation with the spirit of a survivor. Finally, No Such Thing As A Bad Day reminds us all of our inner strength and the ability to surmount great odds in the face of adversity. I thank Mr. Jordan for this literary gift. He is a living testament to the power of mind-over-matter and the personification of inspiration.

Summary: pleasantly suprised!
Review: I am not a very big book person, although I still like to look in to books my friends recommend to me...however, I usually never find them that interesting. After several of my friends had all passed around one advance copy of this book and loved it, they insisted that I start it. Not only was it the first book I have completed in three years (the last was Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil), but it only took me 2 days (a record for me). What further AMAZES me is that myself or no one I know has had cancer problems before, and I previously knew nothing of Jordan's political history, but the book was still engrossing. The author has the ability to write with a simplicity that appeals to ALL readers, no matter what their interests are. PLEASE, GO OUT AND BUY THIS BOOK! I am absolutely SURE you will love it. Thanks!

Summary: No such thing as an uninteresting life
Review: I have several relatives with cancer,including my son who is a childhood leukemia surviver. I bought this book expecting to learn more about dealing with the diagnosis of the "Big C". I got that and much, much more. This book is an inspiration for those touched by cancer, but also an inspiration to see how seemingly small decisions or details in life can a have huge impact. It also is an insider's view of what life in the Deep South was like in the mid-19th century. Whether you read this book to better understand how to deal with cancer, how to face difficult circumstances in general, or how how a single person can make a huge difference in the lives of others, or just an interesting read you will not be disappointed.

Summary: A Poweful, Funny, Moving Memoir!
Review: I love history and personal memoirs....and this is the best book I have read since "Tuesday With Morrie" came out a couple of years ago. With a message and perspective about life through the eyes of a three-time cancer survivor.....but an upper not a downer. History too....civil rights, Vietnam, White House....a lot packed into one book.

Summary: Insight into Life
Review: I started to read Jordan's book with the goal of gaining political insight, but quickly realized that I was going to gain much more -- an insight into celebrating life. This book is a must for anyone with cancer because it provides such a positive approach. It was a delight to read, being laced with humor and sensitivity and, yes, my original goal was met: I gained some political insights.

Summary: Perfect Book For The Beach-Accessible, uplifting and moving
Review: I was a bit skeptical about this book because I expected it was just politics...what a surprise! The moving story of one man whose three battles with cancer have shaped his attitude and life in powerful and wonderful ways. Well written, funny at places, touching at others......I did not put it down and read it straight through. Made me feel good to read it and recommend it wihout reservation. It will touch your life.
