I’ve literally rattled through this incredible book and feel it’s truly astonishing that we still have the author here with us! The fortitude shown by himself and his wife, in particular, is awe-inspiring. It seems to me that what he experienced at the hands of the negligent NHS clinicians on his case, was tantamount to him being tortured, and I’m sending him all the love and healing I can. I’m pretty certain that if I was asked, I would definitely cite him as one of my life heroes! He’s inspirational, the book’s remarkable and it was a privilege to share his journey! Apart from that, I am compelled to say it was excellently written!

Just finished this thought-provoking book and it was a miracle the guy survived in my view. Apart from anything else, his wife must have had the patience of a saint to get him through this!

I couldn’t put it down. The honesty, humour, and sheer willpower on display left me both heartbroken and hopeful.

A truly eye-opening account. It made me appreciate the resilience of the human spirit and question the systems we rely on.

This book is as gripping as any thriller, yet profoundly personal and real. It changed the way I see both ambition and adversity.

I learned so much about the hidden complexities of the healthcare world. The author’s perseverance is inspiring beyond measure.

Mr Smiley Face reads like a conversation with a wise friend who’s seen the darkest side of the system and still comes out smiling.

The juxtaposition of corporate success and crushing medical hardship is riveting. This story will stay with me for a long time.

I wept, I laughed, and I came away with a deeper appreciation for love, loyalty, and life’s unpredictable turns.

A stark reminder that anyone—no matter how successful—can face the unimaginable. Yet it shows that hope and humour endure.

I felt like I was right there with the author, fighting the fight, holding on to faith, and inching toward recovery.

Raw and unfiltered, this is a necessary read for anyone who believes in justice and the resilience of the human heart.

Reading your brilliant book and loving it. And funny despite the subject matter!

Finished your book at 06.00 this morning I am very squeamish but you have a way of describing things that makes it readable and palatable. Very thought-provoking read! OMG you have been through some hell but still manage to make it entertaining and hilarious in places!
