The True Story of a Woman who beat Cancer. I like a true story. This one was ok but not the best. Whilst in places it is very inspiring, in other places it is just a little boring. A shame really. After everything this girl / lady has been through, I really wanted to love this book.

I found this book interesting as an account of having and surviving brain cancer. It was very interesting to read about the symptoms and treatment. On the other hand, this story made me very sad. The author is obviously bitter about the unfairness of getting cancer, and she did not know God. If she had, the story would have been inspiring; as it is, it is merely informational. I did find it fascinating to read about life in the Czech Republic.
