LOVED THIS BOOK, READ IT IN ONE DAY
I love Richard Schimmel. Saw him when he was in Pittsburgh, PA 10 years ago when I was going thru cancer for the 2nd time. I got this book because I am going thru it for the 3rd time. I laughed, I cried, absolutely the PERFECT book for someone going thru cancer, shows you can laugh while tears roll down your cheeks. Some parts were so funny, I just cracked up. It showed pictures of him in the hospital bed, so sick, but still cracking jokes with the doctor. I was disappointed it wasn't longer. I could have read another 20 days worth!
Get this book for yourself or a loved one. You will be glad you did.Lire l'avis complet...
The Best Read I Ever Had
Every so often a book, a movie, a show comes along that can't be explained. It has to be experienced for oneself. "Cancer on Five Dollars a Day" by Robert Schimmel (with Alan Eisenstock) is one of those experiences. This is a book that left me laughing, crying, and thinking all at the same time. I actually had to force myself to put the book DOWN! It's not that often that I can say that.
It's not very often that a book like this comes along. I think people should take the time to stop and read this book. I believe that it'll help them with their daily lives. It certainly did with mine.Lire l'avis complet...
Title caught my attention.
I enjoy Robert Schimmel's humor and my brother is experiencing a recurrence of his non-Hodgins lymphoma. Made me laugh and cry and really emphathize with some of the things he went through the first time that I didn't know about. I hope Mr. Schimmel is lucky enough to have many years of remission.Lire l'avis complet...
Schimmel never disappoints.
I've been a Robert Schimmel fan since I saw Unprotected on HBO. I heard about this book when it came out, and was excited to read it. This book is very inspirational, and funny as hell. It's full of typical Schimmel dick and sex humor that is always hilarious. He goes through hell, but cracks jokes all the way.Lire l'avis complet...
awesome
Great book. Excellent perspective on a horrible situation. Made me laugh a bunch. I highly recommend this book.
Cancer on $5 a Day
Great book for anyone that knows someone with cancer. It gives a peak into their mind and a glimpse at what they are going through, in a humorous way at times.
