This book should be read by everyone. A memoir that tells of a man who suffered a massive stroke and was paralyzed completetly, speechless and only able to move one eyelid.

This book moved me in such a way, that I can't see myself keeping it. It makes you think of your own life, how much you should enjoy it, because you never know when things can be taken from you that you never valued before.

This book made me really made me think about what it would be like to 'locked' inside one's own body. I've always taken my mobility for granted, and have always felt guilty every time I've seen someone in a wheelchair....but then forgotten about it 10 feet down the street. I now have a greater appreciation for what it would be like to be like to like to not be able to NOT be able to walk, ride a bike, or even simply pick up a pen....

Journal Entry 5 by Celticrow from Victoria, British Columbia Canada on Tuesday, September 29, 2009
I found it amazing to read about a person that was stuck in
"Locked in symdrome" and to read about his experiences.
It makes you think the next time you see someone physically
challenged and they give you eye contact.... don't look away.
Give them a smile.... let them know you care
