Editorial Review: Product Description: Always wear a bicycle helmet and use a light at dusk! Your life can change in an instant...but...life goes on. Don't trust anyone! "Shut up and get me some fuckin' water!" Those were my first words and the first thing I remember upon awakening. My sister was just droning on and on about stuff that I had absolutely no interest in, and I was tired and just wanted to sleep. So, me being me, just told her to shut up. Average Rating:
 Rating: - A must for young, male TBI survivorsThis book was very insightful for my 18 yr old son. He related to alot of the difficulties mentioned in the book. It was helpful for him to see that the struggles Geo went through and conquered are the same struggles he is currently dealing with.

Rating:  - TBI BookAlthough I haven't had time to read this whole book through (too busy caring for my TBI son) I have leafed through it, and it's right on!! The seller was very prompt in sending it, and it's in even better condition than I thought it would be! Rating: - inspiring and a little creepyI was rooting for Geo in the first half of the book as he made huge strides in recovery. Then I began to cringe as he blamed his therapists for his problems. My take is that he misinterpreted the friendliness that is integral to the therapeutic relationship as personal interest in him by a young woman. His brain injury caused inappropriate social behavior that he was unable to see and accept, and he needed more counseling to address that. We couldn't get both sides of the story. As a mild ...
