he's sold over 5000 copies and has had wonderful reviews - including a lovely tweet from the wife of sen John McCain who had the same (incurable) brain tumour as Adam, saying how her husband had loved the book and how it made him laugh. its dark humour, and many people have contacted us to say how much its cheered them up. he has also written 'a most unlikely sequel' called Grin and Pear It about living with uncertainty, amongst other things. please take a look- he has self published and im his publicist!
