About this listen
With acerbic wit and a hilarious voice, Shane Burcaw's Laughing at My Nightmare describes the challenges he faces as a 21-year-old with spinal muscular atrophy. From awkward handshakes to having a girlfriend and everything in between, Shane handles his situation with humor and a "you-only-live-once" perspective on life. While he does talk about everyday issues that are relatable to teens, he also offers an eye-opening perspective on what it is like to have a life threatening disease.

Channel 'Squirmy and Grubs' which is also totally awesome. Shane is a great example of Laughter being the best medicine. Teaching us all to try and find humour even through adversity. Even with a life full of challenges life can still be
Beautiful and Shane is great at reminding us all to make the most of every
moment and to laugh even when we feel like crying and have others laugh
along with us.
As someone suffering from chronic illness I totally agree life is so much
easier to cope with, with a smile on your face ! Sometimes you've just got
to Laugh 😃

Dear Shane

It did take me a while to get used to the narrator though, and its nothing against the narrator either as I think he is great. It's just I had recently listened to all of Miss Peregrines Peculiar Children audiobooks, of which he is the narrator so when I heard his voice as Shane in this book it took a while to get used too (because to me I connected his voice with the main character Jake in the other books I mentioned and often he sounds exactly like him). After a while though I did get used to it and I do think he is a perfect choice for this book :-) and for that I hope if they've done the second book in listening form they've kept with the same narrator as it would be strange to change that now. I think the only other better choice would of been Shane himself but I know thats not always possible and a huge undertaking, it's not to say that if a version like that became available I wouldn't buy it in a heartbeat though :-) as I already own a few books read by different narrators and each one can bring something different to the story/book.
I throughly enjoyed this book and as someone with a long term health condition that leaves me severely disabled there was a lot I could relate too, and in a way that was comforting as I knew I wasn't the only one feeling that way. I think anyone could enjoy this true story no matter what their circumstances are and get a lot out of it :-) so I would highly recommend it to everyone.
Audible if your reading this, please add his newest book to your catalogue as soon as you can as I'm desperate to read/listen to that one too. Thanks also for sharing books like this too, as I think his story is an important one to share and it's great to have access to it. Thank you!
Loved this book, can't wait for the next book!
