Born with cerebral palsy (or as the author likes to call it, the "sexiest of the palsies"), Anner has seen more and done more in his life than many healthy adults. He has worked at Disneyland, won his own show on the Oprah Winfrey Network (Rollin' with Zach), traversed the world for his travel shows, driven the Mars Rover, and become a viral sensation—all before the age of 30. The book starts out somewhat slow but picks up quickly and is filled with humor. Anner hosts several web series, including Wednesday Workout and Riding Shotgun, and travels around the United States speaking at universities and conferences. Anner narrates his own work, and listeners will be charmed by his wit and good attitude.
VERDICT Patrons who enjoy humorous, inspiring memoirs with a message about refusing to accept limitations will want to listen to this.
