I absolutely loved the film. I laughed, cried but most of all was so in awe of how inspirational John is. I feel the same way about the book. It's heartbreaking to read how John feels when he tics but cant do anything about it. "One word you mustn't say is..." "Granny c**t. C**t granny".

I'm loving this book so much. Its truly shocking how little was known in the 1980s. It was a surprise to read that Oliver Sacks, specialist in Tourettes wrote Awakenings. I haven't read it but watched the movie with Robin Williams that was inspired by it and always found it very moving.
