Review # 1 was written on 2010-03-30 00:00:00 Jerome Kocik Thought Provoking As a polio survivor myself, I have read much on the subject and also individuals' personal stories. This book is both informative and very personal. It covers a wide range of peoples ' experiences. I was in awe of how people dealt with insurmountable odds with so much courage. Many experiences I could relate to, and others were vastly different from my own due to the time period and geography. I would highly recommend this book to all polio survivors or any interested party.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-07-28 00:00:00 Dennis Lyles An excellent resource for anyone who wants to learn more about the experience of surviving polio. Mixing personal anecdotes, history, and some basic medical information, Wilson charts the course of the disease from its first symptoms through the acute stage of infection, recovery, rehabilitation, and living as a person with a disability. He also recounts the challenges faced by aging polio survivors who develop post-polio syndrome. The stories included in the book cover a range of experiences, from people with relatively mild disabilities to those rendered permanently respirator-dependent. Although quite readable on the whole, the narrative occasionally bogs down in unnecessary repetition. Nevertheless, I found Living With Polio to be well-organized, comprehensive, and insightful.
