Book Review of Crashing Through: A True Story of Risk, Adventure and the Man Who Dared to See

Crashing Through: A True Story of Risk, Adventure and the Man Who Dared to See


This description of a man's journey back to sight has just the right amount of medical and technical detail. It caused me to think about details of the whole sight process I'd never considered. When the man is blinded as a small child he develops into a very adventuresome and outgoing person - concerned with 'being and looking cool' as well as determined to experience as much as life has to offer. He had an athletic and business career beyond what sighted people usually expect. Then a chance encounter gave him an opportunity to regain his sight. Before the book I'd never heard of the procedure. But 'Crashing Through' explores both the problems and the additional adventures ahead of him. Highly recommend this clearly written and personal account.
