WONDERFUL BOOK!: My mother-in-law was diagnosed with Progressive Bulbar Palsy A.L.S. in July of this year. Diane's book was an honest look at the journey we have ahead of us. She wrote about the illness, as well as the special bond that developed between she and her mom at this time. Diane and I have also communicated via E-mail and she has become a wonderful friend!
HEART FELT: I REALLY ENJOYED READING THIS BOOK.IT WAS SUCH A HEART WARMING JOURNEY. TO READ ABOUT A FAMILY THAT REALLY PULLED TOGATHER DURING ONE OF THE MOST HEART BREAKING JOURNEYS OF THEIR LIVES.
Tomato Juice- A Tribute to my Mom: The book was well written and greatly helped my sister who also has ALS and I to understand how other people both patient and caregiver deal with the disease. I was especially pleased that my sister enjoyed it.
Poorly Written: I found this book choppy, poorly written, and difficult to read. This book is very much in need of a good proofreader to help fix the poor grammar, misspellings, bad punctuation, and incorrect word usage. As far as content, it dealt very little with progressive bulbar palsy, and mostly with documenting her own family relationships, the names of the helpers, personal memories of her mother, and pushing her religion on the reader. I found this book a complete waste of my time.
A great insight: This book was not professionally written, but Thoughtful Reader Lynn missed the meaningful point of this book. The book was written to share a journey through a disease, and provide an insight into what one may expect, if ever faced with the horrible reality of progressive bulbar palsy.
