An online Book Review that touched My Heart!

August 19th, 2009 · 6 Comments · 002 Boy's Struggle, 002 Boy's Struggle reviews, 01 My Thoughts

Today I found an online review of my book that touched me so deeply and emotionally. This is part of what drives me to continue writing, to be a voice and meet new people each and every day. To help a mother and daughter bond through the words I wrote, what a humbling treasure that is.

Cixous39, if you happen to read this: Thank you! Seems we have helped each other. I hope you don’t mind that I copied your review of One Boy’s Struggle: A Memoir here:

What makes this book special? On a personal level, my Mom and I BONDED over it. While reading it, my mother found me crying and asked what was wrong. I told her what this memoir was about, and let her read it. Once she finished, we cried together. We also laughed because it helped make sense of my own experiences with AD/HD, which went undiagnosed until I was 35. Though Mom had read a few of the “popular”, recommended AD/HD books, she had never before understood my behaviors or my feelings.

Download ADHD eBook – share it plz

July 20th, 2009 · No Comments · 000 Brilliant Reality of ADHD, 002 Boy's Struggle, 002 Boy's Struggle reviews, 01 My Thoughts, 4 Men, 4 women, Love

Wow, what an overwhelming response from the new PDF I sent out yesterday! Thank you to all of you who responded with comments and suggestions!! Okay, I changed up the document because many of you had nearly the same suggestions. I included some of the more ‘controversial‘ articles and what seem the current favorites: Is it ADHD or bad luck & Is Sex important to someone with ADHD?. Those of you that wrote me mentioned these articles would make you more likely to share the file with others. I also included the quote that I have on my blog – it was interesting that several mentioned it; I didn’t realize it was so popular :-) Here’s the updated file:

A Brilliant Book Review – Is it ADHD or Highly Sensitive Individuals?

December 15th, 2008 · No Comments · 002 Boy's Struggle reviews

Jenna Forest, author of the memoir Help Is On Its Way recently read my personal life story in my book One Boy’s Struggle: A Memoir – Surviving Life with Undiagnosed ADD and she has posted a review about it on her website empowermentsource.blogspot.com

One Boy’s Struggle: A Memoir has been blessed with numerous positive reviews, for which I am thankful, humbled and honored. Jenna’s review is one of the most understanding views of what I had envisioned for my story to be and is. Everyone takes from my story what has the greatest meaning to them, at the moment they are reading it. I believe because Jenna and I relate so very well and have similar backgrounds, she literally stepped into my mind, – no, even further, – into my soul, while reading my story.  Her insight and understanding is uncanny. 

Check out Jenna’s review:

My personal book about ADHD, the ADDer World websites and me 1 year later

August 18th, 2008 · 11 Comments · 002 Boy's Struggle, 002 Boy's Struggle reviews, 01 My Thoughts

Sometimes it is nice to take a moment and reflect on things. ADDer World is now a year old (ADDer World community only 2 months) and my book “One Boy’s Struggle: A Memoir – Surviving Life with Undiagnosed ADD” has been on the open market for just over 6 months. I sit here, close my eyes and reflect. Where was I in my quest just over a year ago, what hopes did I have and what did I imagine the future would hold? Seems to me I was living on a prayer (to quote the inspirational band Bon Jovi). I have a very vivid imagination, it is incredible, the things I can see and the things I can sense. But who knew? I didn’t.

Give my book away!

April 28th, 2008 · No Comments · 002 Boy's Struggle, 002 Boy's Struggle reviews, 01 My Thoughts

That’s right. Well, at least loan it out. If you have read my book and your copy is sitting around somewhere, please take it with you on your travels today and give it to someone. If your a parent, take it with you to your child’s school and give it to a teacher or another parent. If you have ADHD, please consider passing it on to someone you know with ADHD. If you read it and you have no connection to ADHD, but relate to the book of a misunderstood and confused child, please pass it on to anyone who you think may read it. And, ask the people you pass it on to, to also, please pass it on to others.

Please, take a moment today, or sometime this week, to pass on my book to someone you know who would be interested and caring enough to pass it on too.

I am pleased to know that what I have learned about ADHD and using my hindsight of my life’s situations is helping others. You can read the interview here.

Dr. Ragan Review’s “One Boy’s Struggle: A Memoir”

March 9th, 2008 · No Comments · 002 Boy's Struggle reviews

Dr. Ragan Review’s “One Boy’s Struggle: A Memoir”   

“Bryan’s book is not bogged down with research or statistics. He simply shares his personal story. The book reads like a conversation with a friend. After reading the book I feel like I know Bryan although we have never met. If you are feeling isolated and misunderstood regarding ADD, you will likely find solace in Bryan’s book.” Dr. Ragan of  psychologyofclutter.com 

My memoir was published in early January and it could have stopped there, well if you go to my Amazon page you will find some great reviews. Two well known doctors (Dr. Ragan and Dr. Lara Honos-Webb) have now read and put their stamp on it (no small thing that) and Keath Low, journalist from about.com not only wrote a beautiful article about my book, but went on Amazon and gave it a 5 star review! Now that is rare. A journalist enjoyed a book so much that not only did she write an article, but she posted a personal review too:

Tara McGillicuddy reviews One Boy’s Struggle: A Memoir

February 17th, 2008 · No Comments · 002 Boy's Struggle reviews

Tara McGillicuddy, ADD ADHD Coach and fellow Blogger, has been so kind as to review my book “One Boy’s Struggle: A Memoir – Surviving Life with Undiagnosed ADD“. You can check out her review HERE.

Thank you Tara for taking the time out of your busy schedule to read and review my memoir. She also brings up a very good point in her review, which is important for readers to know and I had not completely realized the extent of before I started getting mail from readers. My book is an emotional account of my years growing up and that emotion seems to be transferable to those who read my book, especially to those who have grown up as I have. I appreciate our connection and to those who do not have ADD or ADHD and are just as moved, I think I can understand that too. My story is not that far removed from any person who has struggled with self identity, school and family and with life as a whole. We are all in this together.

More Reviews of “One Boy’s Struggle: A Memoir” My ADD ADHD Memoir

February 4th, 2008 · No Comments · 002 Boy's Struggle reviews

 

A New Look at ADD, February /2/ 2008
By  John

Bryan’s book is an enlightening story about an overwhelmed boy growing up with more than the normal share of confusion and hardships. His story also brings forth the ways he overcame his problem with ADD and achieved his goals. This inspiring book helped me understand the struggles someone with ADD lives through before they even realize they have a special problem and few books provide the real-life information from the perspective Bryan gives us. This book is invaluable to any parent with a child and not just those with ADD. Too often children withdraw from family and friends and we don’t take the time to understand why. Bryan gives insight into his ordeal as a child and how he took hold of his situation and opened up all the possibilities life has to offer.

Reviews of “One Boy’s Struggle: A Memoir” My ADD ADHD Memoir

February 1st, 2008 · No Comments · 002 Boy's Struggle reviews

Five stars! 

One Boy’s Inspiring Triumph , 01/28/2008 
Reviewer: Katherine

 As an adult recently diagnosed with ADD, I was curious to read about someone else’s experience growing up with undiagnosed ADD. I easily related to many of Bryan’s struggles in school, developing relationships, and with his parents. All the signs were there with me too, but it was easier for others to dismiss my behavior as eccentric and at times frustrating…especially my desire to escape into my own imaginative daydreams. This book is written in a heartwarming, positive tone as though the author himself is relating his inspirational story to a dear friend or loved one. I am still learning to cope with my ADD, and reading Mr. Hutchinson’s book gives me hope that I am not cursed, but indeed blessed in so many ways.
