I was thoroughly taken with this book. I, and probably most people, had never heard of Guillan-Barre Syndrome and was intrigued to read about it.

Dane's character was one of the best parts of the story. He was completely unlikable at the beginning of the story, especially during the flashbacks, but his arrogance, anger, and frustration made the story more realistic. His anger at the beginning of the book, when he is first moved to Florida, was very real. I think most people take their health and their bodies for granted, so when something goes wrong, of course there will be anger, but most people don't get angry at themselves, so they take it out on the people around them. In Dane's case, the staff at the rehabilitation center. Although, I must say that if Letitia was my nurse and treated me in such a patronizing manner, I too, would scream at her everyday.

One of the best scenes in the book is the flashback when Dane's body totally shuts down on him. I could almost feel the same terror that he felt when he realized that he was conscious but unable to move.
