Coffee in the Cereal: The First Year with Multiple Sclerosis

Rating:
Summary: Lorna, we loved your book! Ignore others and keep writing!
Review: After my diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, I was scared and depressed. This funny little book has done more for my outlook on living with multiple sclerosis than most other attempts.She doesn't preach, she simply tells it like it is! If there were mistakes, I didn't notice them while I was giggling. Lorna is light-hearted and daring with her smart-aleck turns of phrase and descriptions. No doubt she will stir up the more "politically-correct" and those who are not affected by their MS. However,for those of us whose lives have been changed by mutliple sclerosis, her words are just what the doctor ordered!

Summary: Laughter is the best medicine!
Review: All the other books I own on multiple sclerosis are serious, depressing, and written by someone who doesn't have the disease. This book is a diamond in the rough! Lorna is witty, sarcastic, and down right funny! Her idea to laugh at her various tragic situations and bodily changes touched me in a way that no other book has. It helped me to realize that grieving and denial are not the only ways to deal with a diagnosis of MS. Humor, and the ability to not take one's self seriously, is a gift that Ms. Moorhead gives to us all.

Review: All though I've been in denial, I finally read this book and it was very helpful! I needed the humor! I like to think of it as "The Girlfriends Guide to MS" Thank you Lorna!

Summary: Not a snob
Review: I read books for content not grammar. When I bought Coffee in the Cereal, it wasn't because I was looking for a grammar lesson. I got the book because I wanted to read about someone else's experience with Multiple Sclerosis. Ms. Moorhead's book was funny, heartfelt, and down to earth. The book may seem simple-minded to some, but to me it was just the story I was looking for. Simple. My life is complicated enough. It makes me sad to see readers who can't do anything better than to pick it apart. I want to thank Ms. Moorhead for writing something that wasn't perfect because Multiple Sclerosis isn't perfect either.

Rating:
Summary: depressing and horribly edited
Review: It shouldn't be possible to be painfully honest, incredibly funny, and highly informative at the same time... especially when dealing with the personal story of a multiple sclerosis onset. I still can't fathom how Lorna Moorhead not only can laugh at her own situation, but can make us laugh with her.
Even the occasional proofreading and editing glitches don't sidetrack the reader from a real sense of involvement. I read it straight thru in one sitting because I didn't want to put it down. Please let there be more books from this fresh, funny new voice!

Summary: This book says it all
Review: When I read this book, it was a revelation. This lady said what I had been feeling and thinking. It is great to know you are not alone, you are not crazy and that all these weird things that have been happening are real, because they do happen to others. Honest, funny, touching but above all it helped me to accept my MS and get on with life.
