Summary: Cory goes AMA
Comment: First of all there is no medical mystery. Cory Friedman has Tourettes Syndrome and OCD. He has a
great deal of anxiety. The amazing issues of this book is how Cory's parents held the entire
family together despite many tragedies brought about by Cory's ailments. Cory does not give up,
despite his raging insides and delivers everything that is possible, in the end. Just because he
wanted to be like the other kids and not have these temptations thrown in his way, all the time,he
finally succeeds. Kudos to his teachers, who helped him along the way and to the number of doctors
who gave it their all to try to help Cory.

But most of all this book is a tribute to a
well put together family who happened to have a medical issue that only our hero could fight. That
hero being Cory Friedman.

Let us not forget the amazing writing of James Patterson and
Hal Friedman.

Summary: Gripping tale
Comment: The description of this book made me doubt it would be as good as it is. Based on he fact that
James Patterson co-authored the book, IU bought it. I am glad that I id. The story is a gripping
tale. I never wanted to put the book down. An alternate way of looking at life wqs introduced to
me.

Summary: Enthralling, heartwrenching and well done...
Comment: This true story is presented in a tasteful, straight-forward manner, and had all the ingredients
that make a page-turner. While painful to read at times, the overall determination of this young man
was remarkable, and left the reader with a sense of how strong the human will is, and how powerful
the love of family can be. While it angered and upset me that this young man should be stricken with
such a torturous condition, and ostricized on top of it, there was a life-affirming quality to his
perception and his tale was one worth reading. One could hardly hold on to self-pity after reading
the trials and tribulations of this amazing individual battling this horrendous affliction.

Summary: Just Okay
Comment: I am still having a hard time reading this book. It is well written, it just isn't holding my
interest. I am aware of this terrible medical problem that haunts many people and I am sympathetic.
This book just doesn't hold my interest.
