“Well done for still being alive.” “With a positive mental attitude, he gives us all something to think about.”
Such a lovely relief to see how well my book is being received by people who have bought it. I’ve ‘kinda’ laid myself out bare here, so you never know such candour is going to be viewed.
Very well it seems!
You can see previews reviews: “I expect everyone to feel fully involved in JFs life on reading this.” “Buy it, read it, you won’t regret it.”, “Stunningly well written with real feeling.” “Remarkable and inspiring story.” and 5 Star Ratings For Fear Conquers All.
One person asked me where I’d got my poems from. “I wrote them.” Came the reply. They were amazed, they thought I’d taken them out of a book of poems written by a ‘professional.’
Another sent me a review saying, “Well done for still being alive.” That made me laugh!

Remarkable and inspiring:
An extraordinary story of one mans battle to live life to the fullest despite the numerous operations and being in constant pain. Through all the adversity, he has maintained a wonderful sense of humour and throughout all this, he still manages to think of and put others before him.
With a positive mental attitude, he gives us all something to think about.
Highly recommended read.
And now, two more (that makes nine 5* ratings so far on Amazon)

Each Life That Touches Ours For Good
5.0 out of 5 stars
I must declare an interest here. Jonathan Fear and I are friends, having known each other for over ten years. It started because of our mutual attachment to Aston Villa. But then I came to realise that here was a multi-faceted person, wise beyond his years and with a disposition to be kind and considerate towards others.
I thought I knew him reasonably well and was aware that he’d had “health issues”.
Health issues!!?!
This man has endured enough suffering for a dozen lifetimes.
So this book gives us a fuller (though I suspect, incomplete) picture of the life and times of Jonathan Fear. It is a very personal account. It has a great sense of authenticity. It is deceptively easy to read. There is no self-pity. Any emotion is reserved not for his own situation but for those he cares for most in the world.
Considering the seriousness of parts of the story, it is regularly whimsical and hilarious. Jonathan takes life seriously – he, more than most people, realises what a precious gift it is – but he refuses to extend that to himself. And, although I suspect he might disagree with me, he comes across as having quite spiritual depths.
All in all, it’s very inspirational and I came away with “a nice taste in my mouth” at a good life still being very well lived.
It’s well worth buying for yourself – and in a few months time, a few copies for stocking fillers would be an excellent idea!

An inspirational read. The recurring theme to me is whatever challenge was set whether it’s taking on death or climbing mountains or running a business or taking on a powerful owner of a football club the sheer will to succeed and overcome the challenges presented shows just what can be achieved.

Have a nose around the site, I’ve done a few blogs, I intend to build on these, and put in outtakes that didn’t quite make the final cut, book wise.
