Paul Kimmage is a sports journalist who's first book "Rough Ride" opened up the Tour de France's dark secrets of doping back in the early 90s. He currently writes for the Sunday Times, and it was a result of doing a 2 page spread on Hampson a couple of years ago, that this biography came about. What you get is a warts-and-all view of the person that was Matt Hampson, and the person he has become since a sports injury resulted in him being paralysed from the chin down. You get the support from his team, his family and friends, his carers, and how the establishemnt failed him in his predicament, paricularly the English RFU and the NHS. The title, to me anyway, has a double meaning. From the last word Hampson heard before the injury that crippled him, to his burning desire to create a new life that is a polar opposite to what he had before and mean something. Kimmage has written the book in a series of vignettes that I enjoyed, but some may feel is a little forced.
