Customer Reviews

A Successful Underdog

This book was different than I expected. I figured it would be more like the movie with the same title. The book gives you a much better picture of Tom Sullivan, how he started, the battles he fought, his successes, and how he's dealt with difficult situations in life. If you're disabled and even if you're not, this book can give you the incentive to look upon and approach disabilities and the disabled community differently. It certainly is a "must read."

Another inspiration story

I ran across this book and was compelled to read it. This stunning portrayal of the life of Tom Sullivan and how he overcame adversity in a world that he was unable to see, opens the eyes of the reader. He takes his darkened world and livens it up with color and animation taking you on a journey that surprises and delights. This is a must read.

uplifting

I'm stationed overseas in bosnia, and it can be very boring. this book gave me hope that my life will be better when i get back to the world. we'll see.

A Favorite After All These Years

I gave this book 5 stars because it has to be at least 20 years since I read it last (read it over and over and over then) and I still remember it with a great deal of fondness. My personal favorite has to be his descriptions of spending the summer in Scituate Mass--my mother was great friends with Tommy and his family and this is one of those books that just gives lots of laughs and reflections.
