This book was quite interesting. Sometimes I prefer to not rate memoirs and I’m going to take that route here. I will say some thoughts on the book though. Drew’s experiences were fascinating and difficult. There were a few things I really didn’t agree with in this story but overall I enjoyed it quite a bit.

I would have given this book a 4 or 5 stars even, if it wasn't for all the chapters that were wasted in telling the story of his injury and his initial days in the hospital while unconscious from the perspective of EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN HIS LIFE, ALL OF THEM, even if they were saying the same thing. This format was weird, repetitive, and unnecessary. I would have given up reading there, if I wasn't a person who doesn't like leaving a book unfinished. Part 2 and 3 of the book were excellent. They were interesting, informative, and inspiring. The author was very honest and raw about everything that happened to him, physically, emotionally and mentally.

Engaging memoir about an author who blacks out and sustains a traumatic brain injury. Started to get a little slow toward the end but still held my attention.
