Crashing Through: a True Story of Adventure and the Man Who Dared to See

CRASHING THROUGH: A TRUE STORY OF ADVENTURE AND THE MAN WHO DARED TO SEE: Robert Kurson: Random House (2007): nonfiction: 306 pages.

Crashing Through is a very interesting account of a man blinded at age 3 who has his sight restored through an experimental surgery 45 years later. In case you didn’t know, such a thing is almost unheard of – there have only been about 20 documented cases of a completely blind person having their sight restored. You will gain an enhanced appreciation of how blind people adapt and you will be amazed to learn how difficult it is to see. The book is as gripping as fiction and, like good fiction helps you see life from a new vantage point.
