Reviews

A story of enormous depth: honest, intelligent and compelling. I have rarely read anything as moving
*Sunday Times*

Brave, funny and deeply moving
*Sunday Telegraph*

Fascinating and utterly lacking in self-pity
*Guardian*

Through his honesty, dignity, and clarity of purpose, Reeve has created an involving book and a meaningful life
*New York Times Book Review*

Still me redefines the idea of hero . . . In this detailed and well-written autobiography, Reeve proves that, in many ways, he has transcended previous accomplishments through his courage and character
*Boston Globe*

The courageous actor Christopher Reeve survived a broken neck in a tragic fall from a horse in 1995. Since then his appearances on behalf of the disabled, TV interviews, and this bestselling book have captivated larger audiences than his Superman movies. He has made an incredible journey from active sportsman and star to observer and now back to a creative role. We learn about the accident, his subsequent slow recovery, his earlier relationships with parents, devoted wife and children, and, briefly, his film and stage career. Lately, he made a successful debut as a film director. He may act again, in his wheelchair. His reading of this text is clear and moving, with minor breathing difficulties. This unique story, although regrettably short, is a winner. Warmly recommended for general audiences.‘Gordon Blackwell, Eastchester, NY
