Being Disabled and wheelchair bound myself I found this book full of such strength. It has many ups and downs and hopefully makes you realise what we go through just battling to survive day to day. I found myself in many tears reading this couragous uplifting book. Hopefully we'll all realize just how precious life really is. An excellent read.

I'm the anonymous reader from Glasgow who revieved "Still Me".
Between books, my brother suffered a spinal chord injury and was only cured because Christopher had fallen from his horse and funded the research which led to a drug which could help my brother heal.
This book extends "still me". The sirens have been silenced, the media are less interested, and this extraordinary man goes about trying to construct something resembling an ordinary life.
This book moved me to laughter and tears, and destroyed any shadow of the "Poor Me's" which have tried to enter my life since. Buy one, ande buy one for anyone that means something to you. ................
Very sad at Chriss's death, this book proves that peoples lives touch the lives of many others, and, sadly, that life is way, way too short.

'Nothing Is Impossible' is an inspiring collection of short essays by Christopher Reeve. They cover topics from faith, healing and advocacy to parenting. They are all written in his matter of fact and completely compelling style and you come away from this book uplifted and in awe of his attitude to life. He has such a strong message for those in a similar situation or not. His son provides superb photography to begin each chapter and they compliment the overall feel of the book perfectly. Reeve writes honestly and candidly and this book is the perfect companion to 'Still Me'. A highly enjoyable and inspirational read. Well worth a read.
