Rating:  Summary: EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS BOOK. Review: MR. COLBY HAS WRITTEN A BEAUTIFUL TOUCHING STORY ABOUT THE HEARTBREAK OF A BEAUTIFUL FAMILY. THEY SPENT YEARS TRYING TO GIVE THERE DAUGHTER A DIGNIFIED DEATH. MR. COLBY IS AN ATTORNEY, NOT AN AUTHOR, BUT YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW IT BECAUSE HIS BOOK KEEPS YOU GLUED TO THE PAGES. THE FAMILY IN THIS STORY COULD BE ANYONE OF OURS. I HAVE NEVER MET MR. COLBY BUT, BILL AND MY HUSBAND WERE COUSINS AND I AM VERY PROUD OF HIM. THIS IS ONE "OPRAH" SHOULD PUT ON HER READING LIST. THE WHOLE WORLD COULD LEARN FROM IT.
Rating:  Summary: This year's "A Civil Action"! Review: This book ignited me as "A Civil Action" and "Erin Brokovich" did--it's another fascinating tale of a "little person" taking on the system. Bill Colby is a masterful writer, and this is a book that will both entertain and educate you. I'm recommending it to everyone I know!
Rating:  Summary: Incredible book! Review: This is one of the most fascinating books about a legal case that I've ever read. It is fast-moving, riveting, and I couldn't put it down. It covers issues relating to law, medicine, the family, the rights of the individual, and the right to die. It would make a great movie.I recommend this highly--one of the best books I've read this year!
Rating:  Summary: A journey through a family's heartbreak Review: When I started this book I knew it would be hard to put down. Bill Colby is not only a brilliant attorney but he's also captured the public's attention with his spellbinding book on Nancy Cruzan's family fighting for her right to die. His genius approach to every obstacle thrown at him in court was met with sheer determination and a cool savvy that persevered for the clients he grew to love. His success as an attorney and an author parallels his success as a husband and a father. Congratulations Bill! You've done beautifully in all areas.
