The book provides a unique perspective into a widespread and debilitating illness and provides interesting reading for those who have the Disease or who have family or friends coping with it. Once you've read the book, you will come to understand what cows, engineers and research into Parkinson's Disease all have in common. And you'll enjoy the journey.
