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.

A must read book
I have learned a lot listening to this book, not only about SMA but about Mr Burcaw, he’s such a funny young man, with a heart bigger than some of us out there.
I follow him on YouTube, Squirmy and Grubs is the name of his channel, I recommend if you enjoy this book, go and subscribe, you won’t regret it.

Attitude is everything
Great book. Highly recommend. A tragic, fun, hard, lively, frustrating and blessed life. I found Shane on YouTube and looked for his book here. Shane is an inspiration. Life has challenges that we all face, but for some, those challenges are ones the rest of us could never conceive facing. He does it with spirit, humility and the best sense of humor.

Great story!! Prefer a different narrator.
Having watched all Shane's vlogs on YouTube, he has such an awesome personality that is missing with the use of this narrator I think. But still, awesome book and totally hilarious. Worth a listen! Definitely go watch his YouTube with his beautiful wife Hannah: squirmy and grubs.

Loved every second
Would recommend to anyone - I’m going to get my teenagers to listen to it too. Shane is smart, funny and engaging and Kirby does a great job telling the story. I laughed, I cried, and now I know how Shane poops.

Didn’t want it to end
I discovered this book after discovering Shane on YouTube Squirmy and Grubs. This Narrator was very easy to listen to & I will be looking more of his books up too. Shane I cannot get enough of your attitude to life & honesty & willingness to share life with the world. So many attributes that I admire & aspire to. Thank you for writing this entertaining, in a weird way light hearted, very well written book.

A great read!
Love Shane's witty and dark sense of humour. Timing is close to perfect! Great to see him sharing awareness and a positive outlook on how life is what you make of it and not letting your disability slow you down but also doing this in a realistic way! A great read.
