Tony Ciaglia was a teenager at summer camp, when a boating accident landed him in a coma. He spent the next few years relearning how to walk and talk, and navigating a world of medications and teen bullies. He had a nervous breakdown, and says he would have ended up dead or in a mental ward. But three things saved him: his supportive family, his love of Elvis, and the pen pal correspondence he started with serial killers. Tony Ciaglia shares his story, and how he convinced some of the killers to reveal where they hid the bodies.
GUEST
Albert Ciaglia, Tony's father

Well if you don't think he has a right to collect the social security he has also put money into then maybe you can go live in another country. Then again most people who Bitch about this has a silver spoon shoved so deep in their Ass that if something happened to you, you would probably kill yourself

Gloria - You're right, Tony is not the author of the book, however, all the of content in the book was written by him. Pete simply took the information and put it in book form. Clearly, this radio station made an error is stating Tony as the author. Tony did want the book to be about TBI, however, Pete and the editor said that Serial Killers sell. I'm not sure that I believe that. I have read tons of feedback online about this book and 80% or more is about Tony's amazing story of struggle perseverance, a will to live, a will to walk again, and a will to survive. That is the real story in this book. The author did sensationalize things about him in the book. He stated, "Tony started writing to serial killers because he thought he was becoming one" and "Tony has 6 of the 10 traits that a serial killer has" - Those things are simply not true. He wrote to serial Killers out of curiosity. Since he an ownership stake in the book, wouldn't it make sense that he would publicize the book for monetary reasons? He wanted the book to be about TBI but was still well aware that it was going to be about serial killers. Where do you think Pete got all of his information about serial killers

Another thing you mention is that the title of the book must have slipped by him. Clearly you don't have any knowledge of publishing. If you did, you would know that the editor titles the book. Not Pete and not Tony. They both disliked the title of the book, however, when Simon & Schuster is paying the bill, they get to name the book. See? you learn something everyday. I just wish that I didn't have to read ridiculous comments from people like you when you don't have any of your facts straight. This guy Tony put alot of effort into this book and shared some of the darkest secrets of his life with the readers. You should respect that and commend him on his bravery, inspiration, motivation, and constant will to keep fighting against an injury that will affect him for the rest of his life.
