What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Powerful.”– Library Journal
“Powerful.”—Library Journal
“Funny, heartbreaking, and triumphant … Still, to label this fine book ‘an inspiration’ almost misses the point. Imperfect isn’t about learning to cope with a disability. It’s about becoming a man in America.”—Mark Kriegel, author of Pistol: The Life of Pete Maravich and Namath: A Biography
“Terrific … Imperfect can teach all of us valuable lessons.”—Cal Ripken, Jr.
“A story of how to fight, overcome and, ultimately, thrive.”—Newsday
