This book is a humorous and educational look at a subject that is otherwise sober and frightening: strokes in the relatively young. In his journal-like style, the author takes us with him through the events that follow his sudden and unexpected attack, showing us everything from the simple to the complex. Giambastiani is a wry wit and a keen observer of human nature, including his own, and we learn, as he learns, how to turn a disaster into an opportunity. In the end, I felt as though I'd gained a new friend and a wise mentor willing to advise me on how to reprioritize my life. I enjoyed this book thoroughly, and recommend it to all readers, regardless of age or condition of their health.
