The Excerpt from this story is really great! I think its's a great book for young adults and teens i think some kids can prbably relate to some of the "issues" and topics this book is so great to read that im am going to buy it.

I feel Dave had the best outcome in life: the ability to love no matter what, to live through tough times and to have a loving wife and child. Just reading his books make me feel like I'm witnessing the action that goes on, and they are very heart felt. I've tried not to cry during each time I read his books, but each time I fail. They are so personal and true and I am pleased to hear he is doing just fine after all that has happened. He's like a role-model to me. That is why for every book report I have done, I have done on him.

this book made me feel like i was acually experiencing the problems that dave went through. he is a very good author and is able to make his life very interesting!!!!

This book was as amazing as all the others. He writes of the torment he felt throughout his life, and the fact that he still lives is unbelievable. While most people would have given up or shut down, he was able to express himself in a way no one else could. I think it was excellent.
