Format:Paperback
Life on Cripple Creek is a rare gem of a book. The cover synopsis suggests a series of essays on the emotional side of living with MS. In itself, this would be a valuable addition to the mass of literature on the disease. However, it doesn’t mention what I think is the most important use for this book: It’s a book to lend to your friends.
Sounds trivial? Not to me. Dean has produced the ideal book for this purpose. As well as being well written and humorous, it’s friendly, warm and highly readable. There’s no list of symptoms or obscure medical terms, just the descriptions of events that have happened to Dean, described with an ironic humour. By the end of the book, she’s documented many common symptoms of MS, but without alarming her readers.
Reviewer has had MS for 10 years and continues to search for useful information on the disease and its impact on sufferers.

The name of the book tends to put you off as, I for one, do not want to see myself as a cripple. It is however brilliant. It is one of the only publications that described the cognitive problems associated with MS, which are one of my major symptoms, brilliantly. Her writing is superb as she describes the many reactions of friends to situations and symptoms. A very funny book that I could totally relate to.
