"A great story, very honest and insightful."

"It's eminently readable, interesting, humorous and devoid of self-pity."

"Reading this book provided some of the funniest few hours of my life."

"It was a very enjoyable read which, not only made me laugh out loud, but also broke my heart from time to time. (His) voice is loud and clear throughout the book. It is well written, humorous, passionate, tender, enlightening and heartwarming."

"The emotional punch the reader feels at this moment, though a fraction of what Gillard experienced firsthand, is to carry forth through this highly engaging personal autobiography. His is a journey through deep hardship to discover the triumph of character of a young man born with a physical condition; one that would colour much of his worldly understanding throughout his lifetime, both inspirationally and tragically."

"The book made me laugh out loud, other times brought tears to my eyes and sometimes made me downright mad."

"I laughed, I cried and I laughed until I cried.” “Hugh seems to tell his story so honestly that you can’t help but like him, root for him, and be inspired by him. I will tell anyone who will to listen to read it!."
