The funniest book about cancer you will ever read. Capuano manages to humanize his harrowing journey without bathos and yet I still walked away crying, with tears of sadness and laughter. No mean trick. ... A memoir both tender and hard for the healthy and the sick.

- David Duchovny


Nothing about cancer is funny so why did I laugh so hard at James Capuanos personal story about his struggles with Stage 4 colon cancer? Simply put: because its hilarious. Never one to run away from the truth, his in-your-face account tells it like it is, providing valuable insight into how this disease affects not only the body and the mind, but also family and friends. ... a surprisingly life-affirming tale.

- Susan Sarandon
