What Readers Are Saying
Here is a sample of some recent reader reviews on Amazon.
This book genuinely humbled me. Watching Jared’s story unfold with such strength, humour, and a cracking attitude is deeply inspiring.
It’s an emotional read, full of heartache, hard decisions, and real honesty, but what stayed with me most was the power of unwavering family support. I made the mistake of starting it at work and I couldn’t put it down. I ended up finishing it the same night because it was that compelling.
A brilliant, moving read that I’d recommend to anyone who needs a reminder of what resilience looks like.

Humbled, inspired, and couldn’t put it down
Just finished reading Jared’s book. What a wonderful, inspirational man he is to have gone through so much yet to tell his story with so much resilience, humour and lack of self pity. It really should go into every hospital kidney/diabetic unit as an encouragement to others on similar journeys so they will know that there can be light at the end of the tunnel. He is blessed to have such a wonderfully supportive family. I thoroughly recommend this book – it will leave a lasting impression.

What an inspirational and humble man Jared is. His resilience, positivity and humour is to be admired during challenges and adversity. I hope this book can help others on life changing journeys and the families that support them. This is a dark subject but with Jared’s outlook on life and humour it makes this book an easy and enjoyable read.

From the moment I picked up this book I was rooting for the author and I couldn’t put it down until I’d finished reading it.
This incredibly personal account incorporates the highs and brutal lows of an unbelievable journey with unexpected happenings.
Here’s hoping there will be a book to follow on with in the future sharing the next part of the journey.

Getting legless - inspirational, awareness raising, emotional and informative.
I’ve honestly never read something with such emotional impact. From laughing to crying, your memoir is truly inspiring. I’m glad you have maintained your humour throughout your unfortunate experience with CKD and amputations. I hope this memoir can help give some light to others in similar situations. Such a beautiful memoir.

A wonderful story of a love for life and others. A story that has cost Jared so much and I think, given him so much. It’s inspiring.
