He died just after it was published. This moving, extraordinary book is read by Richard Derrington. Heartfelt

An amazing account of what life is like for someone in this position. Who new that an active mind was behind this stroke. The pain he feels the vulnerability of his situation. The good and bad staff. Every little detail is magnified in this book. Powerful reading and what a great accomplishment Mr Bauby.

Thought provoking
