5.0 out of 5 stars What a read! 30 Mar 2011

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
What an incredible book. Not because he beat cancer or because of his cooking but because true success comes to people who persist, don't make excuses and work hard. A truly inspiring book, on so many levels. Life, on the Line: A Chef's Story of Chasing Greatness, Facing Death, and Redefining the Way We Eat

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly Inspirational!! 30 July 2012
By Tammy Nance
Format:Hardcover
I enjoyed the book from cover to cover, both because I love fine dining and I battled tongue cancer myself! As I searched for answers like Grant, going from Doctor to Doctor to find out what the sore was on my tongue, even after a clear biopsy, it hurt so bad!! His appearance on Oprah made me realize this could be serious and I went to the Mayo Clinic to find I had cancer!!! I am now a two year survivor and hope to dine at Alinea some day soon to celebrate!!! Thanks Grant, for telling your story!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read 23 May 2012

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Great read, highly engrossing from beginning to end!
From his humble start cracking eggs in his grandmaS diner, through to working in the best restaurant in America, to going it alone and finally the heart wrenching story of him facing-and beating-a life threatening disease, this is a great story through and through.
Some may not like the change of pace when the naration changes from Achatz to Kokonas, stick with it and you won't be dissapointed.
Awesome!
