As a 34 year-old with multiple myeloma I was eager to read this book. There aren't many books on life experiences with myeloma, especially from someone in our younger age range. Also, I have recently had a stem cell transplant and chemo, I'm now looking for alternative therapies to keep a relapse from happening and was very curious to see how Michael's experience was. I was disappointed in this book.I didn't really like his style of written, to me it seemed choppy as he was jumping from one part of his life to another. I felt like he included irrelavent details just so some of his friends name's could be mentioned in the book. Not to mention all the poetry and literature he added... it wasn't what I was hoping to read about. Then the book just seemed to end abruptly... leaving me with many questions and much disappointment.
