Welcome to Litsy!

5🌟/5🌟

Having my own chronic pain and chronic health issues made me interested in this book. After reading it, all I have to say is... what a brave, resilient man. He could've come out of his ordeal a bitter person, but instead he came out a better person.

In this memoir, Renner details the incident where he was run over and crushed by his Snowcat. He spends a lot of time at the scene itself; it is gruesome and grim and he struggles to take each breath. I always felt he seemed like a good guy, and this confirmed it for me. I‘m so glad he‘s still with us.

real life superhero Jeremy Renner!
all new respect for him after reading this.
it's very raw and eye opening

This is an #unpopularopinion and I feel terrible about it. Renner‘s accident was horrific and his recovery nothing short of miraculous. This book, however, was so repetitive and Renner‘s insistence that he was responsible for all of the pain, fear, and stress his family experienced witnessing the accident and its aftermath bordered on performative martyrdom. I hope he‘s in therapy for the psychological trauma.

Jeremy Renner takes us through his near-fatal accident in Reno, NV. On January 1, 2023, he was crushed by a 14000-pound snow plow as he saved his nephew from it, nearly dying at his mountain home. From emergency services getting there in the nick of time to his long ordeal as doctors and nurses battled to save his life and help him recover, Renner takes us through the physical scars and the psychological effects of surviving that much trauma.
