Three Minutes for a Dog: My Life in an Iron Lung

Huge respect for Paul and all the relatives ,friends who helped Paul.Great book and one of the most powerful will I have seen ever .God bless you Paul.

Amazing inspiration. If everyone followed by the integrity of this man, the world would be leaps and bounds beyond today.

Incrível história de superação.Lendo este livro passei a refletir mais sobre o preconceito e dificuldades das pessoas com alguma restrição física ou mental.O impacto desta situação na vida da família e da comunidade.Uma verdadeira lição de vida

Very inspiring!

Incredible autobiography, it really takes us to live inside an iron lung and what polio is. Always keep on going, get over obstacles and ,ore it’s what Paul teaches us un his book.

This book had quite the effect on me. Paul has clearly had a life more difficult and harder than any of us could imagine, and the adversity didn’t stop after his childhood - he’s had bad luck in love and many other aspects of life too - yet his determination and drive is just incredible. You wonder if he would have been the same or different if left to grow up as a man without polio.All of humanity’s cruelty and love are on display in the book too. It would have been nice to hear more - we don’t know much about Paul’s later years - most of his reminiscences are about his years before the age of 40.The writing style is also very vivid - Paul writes in a haphazard style and jumps around, but paints incredibly vivid pictures with his words which is a very rare skill - you feel a bit like you are there. It’s a slightly similar writing style to Jack Kerouac I suppose.
