Correct me if I am wrong, but I'm pretty sure that this book was the inspiration for Metallica's song and video "One" about a man who is wounded in war and basically left a vegetable, except he can still think and feel.

I tried reading this book in college, but just could not get into it. If my memory serves me, the intro talking about Trumbo's blacklisting was pretty interesting, though it portrayed him as more of a martyr than author.
