It is one of he best book I ever read. I love the way Og Mandino encoraged me to live my daily life to its fullest. "Everyday I bacame better and better." No matter how huge the tossing storm of life is I will "never, never,never, never, never give up."

Uplifting but very cliched. I read this several years ago on the recommendation of a friend and would recommend it for anyone looking for an uplifting story and a quick read.

One of the best books I've read. Actually, it reminds me of not losing hope even in the moment of near dying. Timothy Noble inspired not just John Harding, his couch, but also me as a reader. I appreciated the simplicity of the story, easy to recall characters and not complicated plot. It was indeed an enjoyable read, an entertaining and inspiring book to ponder.

I read this a long time ago and don't remember a lot of specifics except that it was one of those quick-read, feel-good types.

It's really one of the best books I've ever read, somewhat sad but touching. Trust me, you'll love this book in case you read it.
