Rating:  Summary: What a wonderful book! Review: My Urologist suggested that I read "No Such Thing As A Bad Day" by Hamilton Jordan. I read it in one day. Once I began reading it I was unable to put it down until I finished. What a wonderful book! It is a must read for anyone who has cancer or has loved ones who have cancer. One is taken through the full gamut of emotions from realization you have a disease that could put you in the cemetery to a point where you realize you have a fair chance of being a long-term survivor. On more than one occasion, tears ran down my cheeks, reliving the same experiences and feelings that he was expressing.
Rating:  Summary: Good book..kept me up till 3 am Review: Not many books kept me up past my bedtime but this ranks as one of them. Jordan is frank, lucid and at times funny but I would prefer if he elaborates on his tenure as chief of staff further. I'm sure the conversation he had with Carter in his old car campaining for this little known person then would interest a lot of people...well he left that part out. This book is about hope and doing something about it.
Rating:  Summary: Not just a memoir ... Review: This book is not just a memoir, but a book of care,concern and instruction.Men should take heed to the insights given about prostate cancer,while all should learn about owning ones own healthcare.Jordan presents and captures the truly important things of life with the reality and backdrop of his own mortality. A must read...Thank-You Mr. Jordan
Rating:  Summary: What a Life Review: This book touched me on more levels than anything I've read in a long time. As a person, I was moved by Mr. Jordan's courage and compassion in dealing with his diseases and in his crusade to help others do the same. As someone (like most) whose loved ones have died of cancer, I was empowered by Mr. Jordan's committment to finding a cure for the illness in its many forms. As a history buff, I was intrigued by Mr. Jordan's memories of everything from growing up in the segregated South to life at the White House. This book really does have something to teach everyone, interwoven with stories about a truly remarkable life.
Rating:  Summary: A Masterpiece Review: Unquestionably the finest memoir that I have read in my life. Mr. Jordan powerfully describes his most personal experiences with both cancer and American politics in an incredible manner. This book contains stories that every human should have the opportunity to read. Mr. Jordan is a cancer survivor, a family man, a politial leader, and most importantly a gentleman. My recomendation is to not only buy this book for yourself, but also copies for every person who is important to you as well. You certainly will be glad that you did. I thank Mr. Jordan for writing such a wonderful book for us all to read. It is certainly as good as they come.
