Ghost Boy: The Miraculous Escape of a Misdiagnosed… von Martin Pistorius
Spiritual
I loved this book. I liked that he was honest with his struggling and how he coped. The fact that he wrote it all himself and how he overcame everything is always something I enjoy reading. It definitely goes to show that you should not take life for granted.
It was super interesting hearing about how Martin overcame many struggles and learned how to communicate after having locked in syndrome. There were some dull areas of the book, and it definitely was a memoir, not a boon with a real point to it.
To say this story was amazing is an understatement. An illness left this boy in a catatonic state for several years but he then did regains mental awareness without the physical ability to communicate. How this boy found a way to communicate and rejoin the outside world and live a full, happy life was astonishing. And though there are many horrible instances of abuse at the hands of his care workers, there were also those who aided him in his recovery and re-discovery of the world, particularly the first worker who realized he was aware and trying to communicate. This is a very uplifting story that I highly recommend it.… (mehr)
