I really enjoyed the book, and felt glad that by reading it I was confirming that Nicole had achieved one of her numerous life goals, that of publishing a book. On the first page she lists the "rules" for reading, which include '' Do not think poor girl, because I'm not'' and if there's one thing I didn't feel on the last page, it's sorry for her. She has achieved some quite astounding things in her life already, and I'm saying that thinking of her as a regular teenager, not as a disabled/blind/cancer-surviving teenager. It really is an inspiring book, and she is a very inspiring girl. Recommended reading for everyone.
Johnnie Walker also talks candidly about cancer in his [[Johnnie Walker: The Autobiography|autobiography]] while if it's inspiring teens you're after, the fictitious [[Harriet Rose]] may be the answer. You might also enjoy [[I Think I Love You by Allison Pearson]]. We also have a review of Dryburgh's [[Talk to the Hand by Nicole Dryburgh|Talk to the Hand]].
Thanks as always to the publishers for supplying the book, but also thanks to Nicole for writing it, and for sharing this sometimes intriguing, sometimes quite worrying time in her life. You can learn more about Nicole on her [http://www.c-h-o-c.org.uk/ website].
