Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Kevin Connolly has used an unusual physical circumstance to create a gripping work of art. This deeply affecting memoir will place him in the company of Jeanette Walls and Augusten Burroughs." - Sara Gruen, author of Water for Elephants
"Charming … Connolly recounts growing up a scrappy Montana kid-one who happened to be born without legs… [Double Take] makes for an empowering read." - People
