5 out of 5 stars Stunningly beautiful   July 1, 2008
Absolutely amazing. And a quick read, too, so you really have no excuse to miss it. SHUT UP. NO EXCUSE. Jeez, you can even borrow it from me, okay?


5 out of 5 stars Excellent!   June 27, 2008
This is a wonderful book. Very quick read. Makes you truly appreciate your own life. Highly recommended.


4 out of 5 stars An inspiring life testament   June 21, 2008


Bauby gives us a truly remarkable and inspirational story of his life trapped inside a body that no longer serves him.

But his mind remains as sharp as ever.

He transcends his immobility with grace and a remarkable gift of a rich, lucid imagination.
He is free in his mind to enjoy all of life and it's lush sensory gifts and memories...to take flight as if a butterfly.

A heartbreaking true story.






5 out of 5 stars What a great read!   June 19, 2008
This book was an eye-opening and amazing view into the internal life of a man under tragic circumstances. It is a very human look - sometimes funny and sarcastic and at times tragically sad - into Bauby's mind and spirit which never gives in.


5 out of 5 stars Amazing   June 18, 2008
I work with brain injured people daily and they never cease to amaze me. The book and the movie are testimony to the strength of the human spirit.
