Everything you need to know but don't want to know
This was by far the most comprehensive, detailed and informative book on Parkinson's disease I have read.
Parkinson's by deadline
Joel Havemann brings the journalist's practiced eye for detail, detachment and clarity of expression to the task of understanding, describing and coping with Parkinson's. He also allows his heart to speak and the result is a work that should be especially valuable to those who have themselves have recently received a Parkinson's diagnosis or who have a close relative or friend thus stationed. An intelligent look at PD
Other books about PD scared the heck out of me, but Havemann's sense of humor and indomitable spirit have changed my perspective. I'm not afraid anymore. Thank you Joel.The book is honest and straightforward. He describes what happens to a brain with PD so clearly that I finally understand it! ... Read more

Getting to the point
This book(I prefer to call it a pamphlet)gave me the best overview on the subject and left out all the technical jargon. It was well organized, precise, and didn't pull any punches. Its problem-solution orientation proved useful and refreshing; instead of just blowing one off with a typical "It effects each person differently" approach, it discusses what commonalities the disease has. It has a useful self-help section and easy to read charts and diagrams. The concise, plain talking pamphlet gave me a clear picture with a sense of empowerment that comes with knowledge (and all within an hours reading!). ... Read more

A very good book.
Heroes are never made. Courage comes from fear of the unknown. We try to live life and make each day count. These are but a few of the clich�s that I've heard when people talk about those who fight life threateningillnesses, yet this can not begin to describe this book.Read more
