Industry Reviews
"In his full-throated, driving and highly affecting book, John Hockenberry tells us--even forces us--to treat him no differently than others, and to acknowledge that disability is mostly in the eye of the beholder...Moving Violations could, infact, be described as an Invisible Man for the disabled...an encouraging [book], which encourages in precisely the way that Thoreau encourges: by being cranky, unsparing and ready to settle for no answers that do not ask the most of us."
New York Times Book Review - Pico Iyer (07/02/1995)

"Marvelous ...defieant, funny, life-affirming and full of wisdom ...Hockenberry hates being called brave, but I think he's a hero."
Paul Theroux

"John Hockenberry does more adventure journalism from his wheelchair than most reporters do in their wildest daydreams."
Peter Arnett

"His accounts are by turns poignant and funny, so much so that Moving Violations is that rare book of which it may truly be said: I cried till I laughed."
Washington Post Book World - Tom Miller (07/30/1995)
