Hope: My Inspirational Life by Tom Parker

4.0

I borrowed this book off my mum who ordered it this year, I have wanted to read it since his passing to get an insight into his life and how his cancer affected and inspired him. This book definitely did that, the sections (part one and two) helped to distinguish his story and think it really shows how people with cancer and also their families view the persons life before and after cancer - whether this is what he intended I am not sure.

The reason it isn’t a five is because in my opinion it really centred around his time in the wanted, the writing style wasn’t my favourite in terms of how it was written (not the parts as I already said I like this). Just more of it being about the wanted I wish there was a bit more detail in the book but as a man writing this with a brain tumour I think he did really well and it was a brave thing to do
