Customer Review :

A heartwarming, upbeat and positive book

Written by a grandmother whose husband has multiple sclerosis, My Grampy Can't Walk is a children's picturebook designed to help young people understand family illnesses. The simple rhyming verse and warm, flowing color illustrations tell the story of a young child and a grandfather who share a special bond; even though the grandfather can't walk and uses a wheelchair to get around, it doesn't stop them from enjoying life together. A heartwarming, upbeat and positive book, highly recommended. My Grampy can't walk. / But he can read to me / Stories of far-away places. / Or see who laughs first / When we make funny faces.

Editorial Review :

Marty, a handsome and virile tennis pro, used to be a champion, getting his way with guys on court and women off it. No more. A hit-and-run accident three years ago put an end to that. It cost him both his legs. But Marty's in good shape. Still a champion -- a champion wheelchair racer. And he's still got Lucy, who brings him food, company, and sex. Great sex. So good he almost feels like the old Marty again. Then one day Esther shows up. The ex-lover he hasn't seen since the night of the accident.

Entertaining as hell

Weiss achieves difficult combination of unlikable charachters with sympathetic plights. Hell on Wheels makes you think about your dark side, about what you would do and what you would forgive. Not to mention, it's entertaining as hell. Weiss is a master.

Wheelchair bound man reviews his life and circumstances

Originally published several years ago, this is the story of a man recalling through therapy of sculpture how he became wheelchair bound and his feelings on being a disabled athlete. Very funny and rather sad in places, anyone who enjoyed his Roaches Have No King (a.k.a. Unnatural Selection) book will enjoy it.

Rating :

unforgettable novel

Hell on Wheels is unforgettable. The realistic and compelling portrayals of the characters, the insights into relationships, and the combination of the usual and unusual make this novel unforgettable. Reading this novel changed my perceptions not just of the disabled, but of love relationships: Weiss knows how to convey the power of lust, attachment, rivalry and aggression in all important connections. Weiss is a wonderful novelist and I highly recommend reading this, and his other novels!
