Brain Attack

By Thriftbooks.com User, February 3, 2002

I came across this book when doing research for a school paper. Usually I just skim my sources for relevant information, but once I started reading "Brain Attack," I could not put it down. The book is written journal style, which effectively places the reader in Polly's shoes (or, more accurately, her mind and her thoughts). Polly also includes observations from those close to her -- family, friends, therapists -- so we...

Polly is able to capture what I see so many of my patients try to describe - everything from the nurturing attitudes of the therapists to the struggles of both her and her family and friends. The uncaring attitude of some, which is too...

She not only gives her personal, intimate thoughts and feelings as a stroke survivor, but explores how it effects others around them and the perceptions people have of stroke survivors. This book...

The Power of Perseverence

By Thriftbooks.com User, April 10, 2001

I just finished reading Polly Perez' new book Brain Attack . It moved me beyond words. The incredible story itself would be sufficient, but learning about the reality of facing adversity, loss of motor function and the paralyzing fear that accompanies losing the ability to speak or even to form sentences is compelling. Written in a 'diary-style' format, Brain Attack takes the reader through the minute to minute, day to day,...
