Review
"Life's most successful survivors meet adversity head on, with an unflinching eye, candor and with humor. Kevin Connolly has such an eye and weaves a rich memoir from the gut about his amazing journey through life." (Lee Woodruff, author of In an Instant )"[A] charming memoir. Connolly recounts growing up a scrappy Montana kid-one who happened to be born without legs...[Double Take] makes for an empowering read." (People )
"Beautiful, revealing, and stimulating...[Connolly] is a good storyteller...whether describing his first high school wrestling match, the path from novice to champion skier or what it's like to travel around the world on a skateboard." (Publishers Weekly (starred review) )
"Kevin Connolly has used an unusual physical circumstance to create a gripping work of art. This deeply affecting memoir will place him in the company of Jeanette Walls and Augusten Burroughs." (Sara Gruen, author of Water for Elephants )
"Touching and comedic, inspiring and telling...[Double Take] is a remarkable portrait of the human spirit." (The Free Lance-Star Publishing Co )
"A courageous, immensely rewarding chronicle expressed in arresting words and pictures." (Kirkus Reviews, starred review )
