Summary
Combining his trademark ironic sensibility and keen sense of the absurd, he recounts his life, from his childhood in a small town in western Canada to his meteoric rise in film and television, which made him a worldwide celebrity. Most importantly, however, he writes of the last 10 years, during which, with the unswerving support of his wife, family, and friends, he has dealt with his illness. He talks about what Parkinson's has given him: the chance to appreciate a wonderful life and career, and the opportunity to help search for a cure and spread public awareness of the disease. He is a very lucky man, indeed.

Worth the time
It's easy to disregard celebrity's as having it all but this book focuses on michael j fox's struggles with Parkinsons Disease and its very humbling to hear his story.

Real insight to marry mcfly and parkinsons
It's always been tough nowadays when I see Michael J Fox on tv wether it be an interview for the Back to the Future anniversary. I have many memories linked to my childhood, happy memories from the wonderfully entertaining films he was in. It was thought provoking as to how he coped with the disease, wonderful to hear he had such an amazing wife through it all and how he didn't let pd stop him from doing what he loved as long as possible. Not necessarily an enjoyable topic but it was am enjoyable book, read by the man himself.

Not all about Parkinson's!!
The first chapter of this book started talking about Parkinson's and I thought, "Oh no, this'll skip his entire career." But luckily it didn't, you time skip back to his earlier days and get a decent coverage of his life.
The story does seem a bit Parkinson's heavy post-childhood but then it has affected a huge portion of his life and career. He did tremendously well to carry on as he did for so long. I do wonder if in the abridgement process they decided to keep the Parkinson's bits and lose some other anecdotes though.
Overall it was quite interesting. I learnt a bit more about an actor whose works I have enjoyed. I think I would recommend this to anyone but the full book would likely be better. The narration was good.
