Any additional comments?
You and Me and Cancer makes Three by John Irvine was a good quick read. This is a poetic journey of one man's journey of survival of cancer. After finding out that he had skin cancer, John checks himself into Lion's Cancer Lodge at Waikato Hospital in New Zealand. He journals his five weeks there. I enjoyed hearing about his journey and what he learned in his time there.
An Humbling Journey Through Cancer
John Irvine's sharing of his cancer survival story was eye-opening. What stood out to me was his acceptance of himself and others during this time. While he was staying at the Lion's Cancer Lodge he was with others and didn't have to go through it alone. The lodge provided a support system for him and the others. I liked where he spoke of another man whom was a bit grumpy and John showed him compassion because he knew what the man was going through.
Roland Sickenberger's narration was great! He spoke very well and portayed John's story as if he were the author himself. What I enjoy about his narration is his voice inflections. He adds a lot of character and really brings audio to life.
I would recommend this audiobook not only to cancer survivors but also caregivers, friends, and family. It's a quick listen but to me it spoke volumes. People do listen and there are lots of stories to be told. I hope to hear more from both this author and reader.

"This is not a sob story."
I received a free copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.
"This is not a sob story."
To be fair to the first line of this audiobook, it really wasn't a sob story, which I had kinda been expecting, considering the title. But, it was a very even novel(la?), brilliantly narrated.
