The Cancer Code - by Mike and Bettina Jetter

I was concerned that this book would be hard to read, as it was probably written in German - at least written by two people who have German as their first language. But it wasn't - it was easy to read and gripping enough to keep turning the page. Even though it is essentially an autobiography, it reads like a novel.

It is the story of the Jetters, Mike's fight against cancer and their development of the Mindmanager software package. He is very much an engineer - keen to understand all the details of his illness and the treatment and to explain them. Being of a like mind, I was enjoying all that information. At one point he was accused of being in denial of the seriousness of his condition, hiding behind those details, which I thought was an interesting perspective. As a user of [and often evangelist for] Mindmanager, I felt part of the story too, which is an odd feeling.
