to ask you to read this book

[lu9months]

Pear Shaped by Adam Blain. my 44 year old husband has written a book about his aggressive brain tumour. its frankly hilarious - i know, it shouldnt be. it is very dark humour. you can download it from amazon and it would be wonderful if his writing could reach as many people as possible

adam now has 50 wonderful reviews on amazon.co.uk :)

Hi lu, have just bought the book and the first page made me laugh. Good luck to you and Adam.

thanks so much suzanne, hope you enjoy the rest of the book

This is an amazing book, very witty and well written. Selected to better understand the possible emotions of a close friend who has recently been diagnosed with the same tumour but turned out to be a joyful read despite the sad subject. Lots of the content is just very funny and if laughter is really the best medicine Adam deserves to kick this nasty big C into touch. I wish him and the family all the luck in the world. Thank you so much for making a difference to people like me struggling to understand and be positive

YANBU!
Downloaded and am very much looking forward to reading it when I should be working get a quiet moment.

thanks gizmoone and food, glad you enjoyed , please consider reviewing, and it would be fab if you could share/tweet etc about it

Lu Did you hear Christian O'Connell recommend the book on the Absolute Radio breakfast show this morning? He said he was going to put the details on twitter.

I've lurked on this thread and got really excited when I heard him talk about it

Ha just bought. Will review as soon as I've read it. Wishing Adam all the best

Hi OP. My mum (only in her 50s) died of brain cancer in 2011. I will be downloading the book. Am thinking of you and your family.

thank you rochelle, so sorry to hear you have also been affected by this terrible disease. i hope you like the book

thanks back2two, glad you are enjoying it, yes its just what he is like, he has a lovely, self deprecating sense of humour. please tell your friends and family, and if you would like to review it/tweet about it, that would be amazing, we are relying on word of mouth!

I look forward to interviewing @AdamBBlain on #BrainTumorThursday @CroydonRadio on the 23rd April - more info at... fb.me/3tBQsoqDl

adams interview on radio croydon is out tomorrow, i am sure will be available on line. please keep tweeting and sharing about the book, 58 five star reviews on amazon now, be great to make it 60

OP - how is everything going? Do you have a Barmitzvah coming up? Maybe a welcome distraction?

I've not read all the thread yet but you don't need a kindle just the app to read kindle books, just go to Google play. Samsung have their own kindle app.

Just read the extract and Adam's humour shines through; I can see this is going to be a roller-coaster of a read, funny and thought provoking at the same time. I have retweeted it and hope it continues to be widely read.

Best Wishes to you and your family.
