Eddie is such a great storyteller and truly immersed me into his world through this audiobook. I was able to learn so much about the experiences of wheelchair users (as I am also disabled but I am ambulatory) There were a couple things that I could relate to with my own life and I found myself getting angry at the way that he was treated; knowing what it feels like personally. He endured so much in trying to get tertiary education at Oxford University, and I'm very glad he was able to overcome while also finding humour to sprinkle throughout the retelling.
