bkowalczik 's review for:

The Diving Bell and the Butterfly by Jean-Dominique Bauby
4.0

It is amazing that someone as incapacitated as Bauby "wrote" this book - by blinking his left eyelid - and it is so beautifully written. I wonder at how he held those beautiful sentences long enough in his mind to blink them out. And, although he was paralyzed, he was not without great physical pain. Certainly a testament to the human spirit.
