My rating: 5.0
The Editor-In-Chief of Elle magazine is the victim of a rare stroke that leaves him with only his mind and his left eye functioning. This book was written, one letter at a time, by him blinking. If that isn't amazing enough, the prose, humor and grace of this incredible man telling his story is phenomenal.
I couldn't image being in his position let alone having joy, laughter and wit about his circumstances. It left me incredulous at his amazing spirit.

Elle- great review. I am glad you enjoyed. If you have a chance, check out the film. I enjoyed it as well, of course book was better.

I loved this so much I recently bought it for a reader gf for her birthday and she loved it as well. I will check out the movie and just added it to our queue. Thanks Jeana :-) Hope you are having a fabulous day. Can't wait to hear your thought on listening to RR.
DeleteRR?
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the rest of your weekend!

Sorry - Redemption Road...or it could be R&R as hopefully you are resting & relaxing :-)
DeleteLOL, I read Redemption Road back in the spring. I loved it. I am a huge John Hart fan. I have read all of his books. If you enjoy, you must check out his other books. I waited 5 years between his last two books, hope it's not another 5 years.
ReplyDeleteHold on - are you not the same Jeana that commented on the thread on Goodreads that you were going to start reading it? I just assumed it was you. If not, small world! I am 3/4 of the way through RR and LOVING it!
DeleteAh, I replied to your post just mentioning that I read it and loved it.
ReplyDeleteI misread it and thought you were "going" to read it. I am 3/4 of the way through and absolutely LOVING it!
