Reviews

Jon has written a searingly honest book and he spares no one, least of all himself. It is a real insight into what makes him tick and how it is possible, through sheer guts and determination, to triumph over adversity.

Gaunty's the King of Talk Radio ... He's always fought for what he believes in and I respect him even more after reading this.
