This book is such a good read, a real page turner! The author`s lightness of touch took me through peril and harm with warmth, keen appraisal, and his ever present sense of fun. I couldn`t put it down.

I have finished reading Wayne's book. fascinating life story, and to think this is just a snippet.... a darn good read especially with the royalties going to charity. it is hard to imagine someone - pretty much my age, has crammed so much in and been such a motivation in other's lives. From the epic journey from Bosnia to London to sponsor facial reconstruction surgery, to paramedic life, to oil rigs and dealing with PTSD. i think everyone will gain something from the book.... me, i need to go,go,go and do something with my life!!....
