boxerrebellion1 's review for:
An Invisible Thread
by Alex Tresniowski, Valerie Salembier, Laura Schroff
Prepare to have your heart shredded. Bad and Good....
I was prepared for Maurice's story, but Laura's was just as riveting.
I listened to this book on a 300 mile trip. FYI, it can be difficult to drive down the highway with tears streaming down your cheeks. Thank goodness it wasn't 95 or the like... I would have had to stop the book.
Don't expect not to get drawn in.
My only gripe was one regarding research. Many times it is stated that when they met Maurice had undiagnosed ringworm that was responsible for his thinness. Ringworm is a fungal skin condition (despite it's parasitic sounding name)... I think that Schroff meant tapeworm, or possibly roundworm or another parasitic infection that affects the host's ability to use the nutrients consumed (besides the scarcity of nutrition in Maurice's diet).
