Summary: Superb book detailing what it's like to have ALS
Review: As a person with the same disease, I found myself saying "ME too!" to all of the stories and feelings.This book is uplifting and presents ALS as a condition that happens to our bodies but never to our minds and souls. Final piece of advice: Ignore the title. It's the worst part of the book.

Summary: A hero can come in the most amazing forms!
Review: As soon as I read the manuscript, I knew that the book had to be published. For me, what Bob Horn had to share is more than most can imagine possible. Here is a man with virtually everything going wrong with him physically and yet he has everything going for him in "life." Living longer than anyone would have thought possible, fighting tremendous odds, Bob Horn is a superman who just happens not to wear a cape. For those who know him -- personally or through his writing -- and his outlook on life, he is an inspiration, a role model, and a true hero! Dennis McClellan, Publisher

Summary: Life Changing
Review: This book is life changing. I first met Bob through his son, my schoolmate Chris, in Malaysia, and thought he was Just another friend's dad(don't take it personally Bob, you were all like that:). After more than ten years, I arranged to visit Bob, his wife Judy, and my old school mate Chris. I was advised by Chris to read the book as a precursor to meeting Bob, so as not to "shock" me when I met him again. HOW WRONG COULD CHRIS BE!!! Bob's vitality, energy, and will to live life to it's fullest, regardless of the obstacles, should be a lesson to all so called able-bodied-people. I used to think that being put in a wheelchair would destroy my life. I now know I was wrong. Bob, you are a hero to me.

Summary: An inspirational, heartwarming book for everyone.
Review: This book was impossible to put down. Mr. Horn's determination, will to live, outlook on life, and his achievements are something we all could take a lesson from. He seems so happy and vibrant you almost forget that he typed the whole book with his foot! His descriptions of his family and friends support is enough to make the happiest person in the world jealous. This book is a tribute to the human spirit and to Mr. Horn and his family
