This book will be an inspiration to all of us - the energy and enthusiasm shown by Christian is matched only by the madness of the scheme. True greatness.
If you want to live your life in terms of mediocrity, do not buy this book.
In a literary sense, the language is terse, usually spiced with humour, and positive. At times repetitive, nevertheless the excitement of the challenge is well communicated. I am not at all biased in my views on the book by my position as team doctor.
