Who is Banana Man, and what is his superpower? And why should you care?
Banana Man is real-life Rusty Hilst, a quirky adventurer and extraordinary human being, and this is his story.
Rusty defies the odds:
When Rusty commits, watch out! And now he has undertaken to share his life story. As you might guess, the commitment sprang from adversity.
Recently, at age eighty, Rusty was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's (ALS), a fatal degenerative disease. So what do you do when age and illness compel surrender? Well, if you're Rusty, you throw yourself headlong into a new challenge. And pen your autobiography.
It's all here, Rusty's delight in adventure, his grit and compassion, scary lows and joyful highs. The autobiography sports the twists and turns of a well-crafted novel, but the events are real, reported with gentle humor and clear-eyed honesty.
Is the tale well told? Rusty wrote it. What do you think?
Join Rusty on this journey of a lifetime. And experience for yourself his awesome superpower.

Randomly stumbled upon this book and I am shocked that I haven’t heard about it before. It’s hands down the best story I’ve read in years. People need to read this book. It needs to be turned into a book. This story is just plain awsome. M
This soulful book of personal poetry brought me into the past and into the present---and into my heart.
Read the first book and this 2nd one did not disappoint! Loved every chapter. More please!

Received an Advanced Reader Copy from a friend. I am an avid true crime reader and upon completion I question if the author is credible. The timeline does not add up for his age and the times of his alleged involvement in organized crime. Some of the things in the book he is alleged to have said and done I remember almost word for word from movies I had previously watched. He literally stole a scene from the movie the accountant with Ben Affleck and said that he did it. I did a little research after completing the book and learned that this author was also claiming in 2010 that he was a long time member of the Bloods Gang. That coupled with the above leads me to believe that it is nothing more than fantasy. Do not waste your time or money
