My review

Falling off the cliff is a truly inspirational story about the Author’s life when he gets diagnosed with Cancer. Some of the parts of this book are emotional and other parts are funny, which makes it a compelling read. From the diagnosis and what the Author goes through is really eye opening and makes you really think about things. It is only 99 pages but it really goes into detail about everything. I do not read much non fiction but reading this was inspirational.
