It took me a couple of months to get thru this book. Not at all because it was a hard read, but because I had to go back to work in August! I would pick it up in between studying US and World History and I would try to read a chapter or two.
Scott's book is actually a very easy read. It is one of those books where you start reading and an hour later, you are like, dang...where did the time go.
Scott gives great insight into his fight against cancer. He describes his childhood and the tough road it took to get his job at ESPN and how he became one of the greatest sports icons of our generation. All of this was an important build up that lead to the day he receive the news that he had cancer.
Any time you read about bad things in people's life it is not really fun. However I am glad that I read this book. I hope that I never have to go thru anything like what Scott went thru. I hope that in anything in my life, I will fight like Scott did and always be honest about life.
Scott was a good man. A good father, friend and icon. We must do everything we can to cure cancer. This is a disease that has taken too many good people from us way too early.
I'll end with a quote from Stuart Scott that kinda became his motto:
"F@#* Cancer!"
