Curious on the insight of others dealing with CF by Shane Lindsley (Allentown, PA)  3 Stars
March 06, 2008
Being a fellow person stricken with Cystic Fibrosis, I can relate to alot of what the author went through. I enjoyed her book, especially the first half, then I feel she dabbed too much into her relationship with her beau and the age old "why me" mentality. I've come to the conclusion that she was clearly having a rough time, presumably a lung infection, at the time she was writing much of this.
