Pacific Book Review gives positive review for “Live or Die A Stroke of Good Luck” by Richard Burns
Richard Burns’ memoir, Live or Die: A Stroke of Good Luck, has received critical acclaim from Pacific Book Review.
The book talks about how the author returned to life after he was struck down with a stroke and all but declared dead at age 38. It’s a story of his long and slow recovery and resurrection.
His doctors told his wife to begin making funeral arrangements. She wrote her husband’s obituary. No one expected Richard to survive.
Book critic Allison Walker from PBR remarks: “It is a miraculous story made all the more so by the fact it is true. Burns’ story is truly remarkable and was seen as a medical anomaly when it happened. To go through such a traumatic event is remarkable, but to turn that experience into something which will help others through the same trauma is what makes this book so inspiring. Readers won’t feel so alone after reading Live or Die: A Stroke of Good Luck.”
His book is about his journey from the brink of death back to the fullness of life, the inspiring true story of the man who brought you smiley faces on airplanes and men dressed as fruit in underwear commercials.
