Product Description
What would you do if… … you lost both your legs in a horrific and violent attack? … you won £2.5 million on the lottery? … you found yourself caught up in the terrifying chaos of the 7 July bombing in London? These are just some of the life-changing events that have happened to the people whose gripping tales are recounted in this enthralling anthology. From the rags-to-riches story of the man who founded Pret A Manger and sold it for a fortune to the harrowing report of the woman who lost her memory after a car accident, these first-hand accounts by ordinary people who have found themselves in extraordinary circumstances show what can be gained from life’s surprises. Uplifting and terrifying, inspiring and shocking, It Happened to Me is a tribute to courage, determination and people’s ability to cope with whatever life throws at them.

Hey, you have to read this book- if you feel good about your life, you'll feel better; if you feel bad, you'll get it all in perspective. I'm only halfway through, but I had to put it down just to tell you about it. These life accounts are so uplifting... and gripping. right, can't stop to say more, I've gotta get back to it! :)

I really enjoyed this collection of unusual experiences as they were all so different. Having them written in the first person meant that each one made me feel as though I was experiencing it myself. Perfect for train and plane journeys and just passing the time whilst waiting. And a great gift idea. Looking forward to the next one!
