It’s not obvious from the title that this is the tale of a person who has a brush with a life-threatening disease and comes out of lengthy hospital procedures brimming with mental and spiritual strength. Goss (The Luckiest Unlucky Man Alive) was a navy pilot with a wife and two young children when he was diagnosed with skin cancer and given six months to live. After a harrowing operation that removed his left ear, Goss fought hard to return to normal life.

This is the first book I’ve read by Bill Goss. I could hardly put it down. I’ve owned flying squirrels before. Recently becoming a night owl and researching the flying squirrels on the Internet I learned of Bill Goss and Rocky. Just last week I picked up a new pair of flying squirrels at Logan’s airport in Boston.
Bill is a fantastic writer. I would like to meet him some day and have him autograph the book. Bill grew up loving nature and all animals. His stories are witty, inspiring and give you hope. I plan on reading his first book too. “The Luckiest Unlucky Man Alive”.

I picked up this book because of my interest in flying squirrels and was pleasantly surprised by the inspiration it imparted. I was unable to put it down and read it while my flying squirrel, Chuck, tasted a page or two himself. I had previously read “The Luckiest Unlucky Man Alive” and found Bill Goss’ current book to be even more fasinating.
This is a “must read” book for anyone interested in the therapeutic effects a loving creature can have on “his human”. Inspiring, educational and down right fun … don’t miss it!
