A tragic yet hopeful story of John’s journey with Tourette’s syndrome.

I learned a lot from reading John’s story and I’m full of admiration for his courage, honesty and determination. Reading about the struggles he has experienced - and the ignorance of many people around him - broke my heart.

This is a well paced, easy and entertaining read and I’ll definitely be watching the film based upon John’s life when it is released later this year.

An inspirational man.

For those familiar with the author from the various documentaries he has appeared in, and ahead of the movie coming later this year, this is an honest, and at times incredibly sad account of living with Tourette’s as a child in a period when the condition was relatively unknown but ultimately a celebratory story of hope and friendship written with the same humour the author has shown in television documentaries .
