Just Don't Fall - Book Review

A few years ago I stumbled upon Josh Sundquist, a YouTuber, amputee, and motivational speaker. It wasn’t long before I found myself reading his autobiography, Just Don’t Fall. I wanted to read it to learn more about the guy, but the book itself is actually really good.

Autobiographical books that tell and not show are generally not only publishable but acceptable as well— they’re nonfiction. They supposedly don’t have to take you through a flowing, poetic novel that draws you in. A lot of autobiographies I’ve read haven’t quite mastered the “show—don’t tell” rule, and are a borderline list of facts that coincide events in the author’s life
