Review # 1 was written on 2009-01-02 00:00:00 Peter Flanagan Learned more than I ever knew about Lou Gehrig's disease, from a very personal point of view. I was disappointed in Weiner's writing. I was expecting the incredible writing of Beak of the Finch, but found instead a story he couldn't quite seem to pull together. Perhaps it was too personal for him, since his mother was dying of a nerve disease at the same time and he tried to incorporate that into the story. Still a powerful glimpse of people doing all they can to get through a life and death situation.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-01-30 00:00:00 Jim Ferguson GRIPPING, A ROLLER COSTER RIDE TO SAVE A LIFE Frantic to save his brother's life when time is of the essence, Jamie vertually climbs mountains to rein in the best of the best scientists, researchers & doctors to save his beloved from a horrific death caused by ALS. We join the brothers & their family as they race against time to find a cure for this horrific disease. The first two chapters, which educate the reader about the technical mechanics of the brain (or should I say, the dysfunction of the brain of ALS patients) are rather dry. However, the rest of the story takes the reader on Jamie's warp-speed race against time.
