5.0 out of 5 stars Because I understand 27 May 2007
By A. Clarke
Format:Paperback
I found this book extremely interesting and wonderful, funny, to the point, completely authentic because I too suffered from GBS. But I also recommended it to my family, who at times went through worse than what I did, as they sat by my hospital bed. I suppose this book would only be relevant to someone who has, or knows someone who has suffered from GBS but still the author presents the same poignancy and humour that enhance his other works. I look forward to working my way through the Joseph Heller canon, knowing that he and I shared and overcame the same medical problem. If you have any interest in GBS, this to my mind is the book to read. Captured brilliantly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly entertaining 18 April 2010
By M. Davies
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Despite the subject, which indeed is no laughing matter, the book is light hearted, amusing and very interesting. I hope and pray I never get GBS, but if I do I hope one of my friends turns out to be as great a support to me as the co author, Speed Vogel. Nearly 30 years have gone by since Joseph Heller was struck down with this awful and debilitating condition. As far as I know, modern interventions and treatments don't make a significant difference to the very slow recovery. Joseph Heller's experience brings home the enormous impact GBS has on the unfortunate few who contract it and the book, while by no means glossing over any aspect of the condition, would surely bring comfort to sufferers. How fortunate for us that such a talented writer was able to give a first hand account of this thankfully rare illness.

By William Wood

I am at present recovering from GBS and found this book to be informative and to the point as well as being a very funny account of what the author and his friends went through.I was able to relate to all the stages he went through with the illness.You do not need to be a GBS sufferer to enjoy this read.
