fantastic!!!!!!!!! April 13, 2008
snow white (London England)
when a person is fighting against the odds, it builds a persons character, and this certainly comes through in the book. It made me laugh, it made me cry, and left me wondering how much bad luck life is going to throw at this amazing person!!!! Anyone, teenager to adult should read this book. If you think life is hard, read this. It could change your mind. Very humbling!!!!!! I hope that there will be a follow-up as would love to know what happens to Nicole.
uplifting and inspiring February 5, 2008

This book is an uplifting and inspiring read,not only covers the authors experiences but those of her family and care team.Scary reading at times you wonder how anyone could get through it all but get through it Nicole did and is still fighting and defying the odds.
As a mother I can only imagine the horror and turmoil Nicole's mother went through, again this aspect is covered in an admirable way.
A compelling and uplifting read January 23, 2008

If you are able-bodied with none of your senses impaired, can you imagine what it would feel like suddenly to become blind and partially paralysed, in addition to having an inoperable spinal tumour. What would you do? Give up... or fight?
If you want to be inspired about how you might live life to the full in whatever circumstances you find yourself, you need to read Nicole's story. On its own, the story of Nicole's courage and determination to defy the odds over the past seven years in the face of spinal cancer, which has left her blind and disabled, would be inspiring enough. Yet, interwoven with this is her determination to live her life as fully as possible in the circumstances in which she finds herself. Her style is open, honest and engaging. Sometimes sad and sometimes funny, it will give you an insight into the way a teenager sees life... but with a difference. Whatever age you are you will find something special in this book.
unforgettable and un-put-downable January 13, 2008

This teenage author tells her extraordinary story with total honesty. It doesn't always make easy reading - she's writing about fighting for her life, after all - but it is totally gripping, sometimes sad, often funny and always full of surprises.
One of the powerful elements of the book is the way it shows a family and community rallying round to help Nicole and her amazing mother and brother cope with a desperate situation.
There's nothing 'poor me' about this story - or anybody in it. Nicole and her family and helpers and carers are so busy that there's no room for anything like self-pity. I'd defy anybody to read it and not to feel different about life by the end.
