Inspiring and motivational by L. Hubal (Connecticut) 5 Stars
January 10, 2009
Although I myself or anyone I know has suffered a brain aneurysm, I read this book and found it to be a wonderful commentary on how important our attitude is in overcoming the challenges of life. Lori beat the odds and fought her way back to live a fulfilling and giving life. I can't help but think that the way she overcame the challenges her aneurysm presented to her can be an inspiration to many of us who have gone through life-altering events. Kudos to Lori for writing such a warm and personal account of her experience.

Lacks Inspiration and Information by R. Tomlin (Waukegan, IL United States)  1 Stars
December 26, 2008
My best friend is currently recovering from a ruptured brain aneurysm, so I have complete sympathy for what the author went through and I regret if my review seems disrespectful. That said, this mini-book offered little useful insight that I hoped to gain. At roughly a mere 40 pages (excluding messages from the friends and relatives of the author and the end of book), the text offers none of the insight I hoped to gain. Moreover, I can't say I felt completely sympathetic with the author upon completing the book. Having left her husband who had been by her side during the ordeal, I felt more sympathy for him than I did the author when all was said and done. Sure, there may be more to that story to explain the divorce. If there was, however, it's one of many key holes in the book.
The text offers nothing useful for a friend hoping to learn how to work with a victim of this type of brain injury. Instead, I would recommend reading "Brain, Heal Thyself". I appreciate that writing this book may have been a cathartic experience for the author. For that alone, I'm sure it was a worthwhile exercise. Unfortunately, aside from whatever portion of the purchase price was donated to the Brain Aneurysm Foundation, I thought this book was a waste of my time and money.

From certain death to successful businesswoman by Lonnie Pacelli (Sammamish, WA USA) 5 Stars
October 30, 2008
Lori's story is nothing short of a miracle. As Lori's brother, I watched her climb back from less than a ten-percent chance to live to become a successful businesswoman and inspiration to many. Lori approaches each new challenge in life with an "I can do it" attitude and is not afraid to take on something which most others would avoid. Lori is a shining example of using a significant life event for the betterment of herself and those she touches.
She is an amazing woman with an amazing story that you have to read.
