I was given a copy of this book by the author, Henry G. Sheppard, in exchange for an honest review.
I will be brutally honest. This book is brilliant!
It charts Henry’s dealing with a second bout of leukemia he suffered and the ramifications of it. The subject is dealt with with a combination of brutal honesty and a twisted sense of humour.
I was literally crying with laughter reading some parts. And then felt awful for laughing at poor Henry’s battle for life.
Henry’s dealings with the Australian public health system will strike a chord with many readers.
It’s a short book, only around a 100 pages, but I recommend that anyone who knows someone going through chemotherapy should read it. It will give you an understanding of the process. It will also make you laugh. A lot.
