More Than the Kayak Trip

The majority of this story is not the kayaking trip, but a collection of events, failures, successes, and inspiring people.
It speaks of suffering and figuring out solutions, going forward with loss, and the author goes into how inspired he is to keep going.
I was moved by the many stories and how inspiration is given and taken, how we can all not feel trapped and overcome barriers regardless of physical condition and the circumstances around us.

Despite thinking it would be rude to criticize n account like this, I don’t have any dislikes in the book or audio book.

This memoir account is set up like a story for ease of keeping up with details and the authors have taken a lot of work and research to fill out the events. Although the perspective is written from Michael, the information is from many sources. It’s a rare chance to get a large cohesive picture of this lifetime.

Thank you for sharing this and for collaborating with others to share as well.
I will continue to pass on and get copies for others.

Story is well read and entertaining. The descriptive style of the author is concise but also gives nice reminders to keep the story flowing and not distract from the emotion. Also the audible version has a preview of book two at the end! Thank you!

Will Wheaton really brings the characters to life and gives a heart touching personal feel to the story. Anyone who has fond memories of geek culture from the 70s and 80s (even some 90s) should get a kick out of the references. The tone of how the world had depreciated is reminded to the reader often enough, but it really touched me on how it talked about many of the feelings I've had in wanting to escape, wanting to win, and wanting to feel important all while hiding away. The strings of aged references go on for awhile especially in the beginning, but I encourage to stick through them and endure, because they help build up a very sincere love and care that pays off at the end. A virtual Willy Wonka in some ways, but with more hardships than just poverty.
