Reviewer: Craig
Tansley (Inside Sports Review)
If you can read this
book without once checking your testicles, you're a stronger
man than I. And therin lies the real purpose of this very
personal tale of woe by writer Ashley Morrison: check your
nuts, guys, or you could be dead before you know it. Please
Sir, Can I Have My Ball Back traces the emotions of a man
diagnosed with testicular cancer. It takes us on Morrison's
journey from diagnosis to recovery; but be warned, some
of it will make you squirm. Morrison will never win literary
awards - his writing style is at times awkward and he doesn't
quite manage to convey the emotions a man teetering on
the edge must go through - but he does get close. It's
at times a frustrating read - Morrison gets so close to
stripping himself bare but has the tendency to meander
off on some other course just as he's about to say what
he really feels. However, ultimately it is absorbing. If
it saves one's life, it was worth Morrison's time.
