Abridged Audiobook
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. My husband has recently been diagnosed with PD and MJF has it also. Learned much about Michael and his life; his outlook is amazing and gives me hope…
I LOVED listening this audio book and hearing Micheal J Fox's story from the man himself.
Great book, thank you MJF, you’re a Legend!
This book was so good. To hear what Michael J Fox went through when he first found out about his Parkinson's Disease, to how he dealt with it through work and with his family is just heart warming.
I bought this so I could read about MJ Fox's experience with Parkinson's Disease, as my son-in-in law is suffering with it, and he and Fox had the same surgeon for DBT; deep brain therapy. I will remember him as Alex P. Keaton on Family Ties...funny, charming and attractive...with enthusiastic, fast speech. But a television/movie actor's delivery is not the same as a narrator, where body language and facial expressions are not visible. Please don't misunderstand me; I've always been a big fan. But, despite his theatrical experience, he speaks way too fast, often running his words together, making it difficult to understand what he said. I found myself having to pay more attention to his words, than to his story. I enjoy listening to audio books before I fall asleep so I can rest my eyes after a long day on my computer, and because they help me to relax. While I'd like to purchase some of his other books, I'll be buying them for reading, and not for listening.
This has been my first download with my new subscription to audiobooks and I have not been disappointed. Michael J Fox described in a quirky yet honest and heartfelt manner the depths of his despair but most importantly the ability to recognise the gifts the Parkinson's diagnosis has bestowed on his journey through life.
What a beautiful person and love story! Perfectly written
Michael J Fox is always a fantastic narrator. This book kept me interested the whole time.
If ever there was a reason to listen to an audiobook, this is it! MJF does a great job of emoting the heartfelt battle with his disease like no other narrator could!
Really enjoyed this memoir by Michael J Fox. Very well told and narrated by himself. Insightful and frank about himself and his carreer, and his Parkinson diagnosis which he as a young actor, husband and new father had to come to terms with. Interesting and highly recommended!
I found this a little difficult to get into but well worth sticking around for. It is read by the author which makes it much more interesting and insightful. While he describes the effects Parkinson's Disease has on him as well as his treatment course, he doesn't overwhelm the reader with medical jargon and the entire book is not written around the disease. There are plenty of whimsical tales from childhood through his rise to fame and beyond. Most enjoyable.
