Product Review

In good times, and bad.

by   DMaciel ,   Dec 9, 2002

Pros:  Easy to breeze through, humorous and tremendously honest.

Cons:  Too short.

The Bottom Line:  I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading biographies, inspirational stories about triumph and about ordinary people doing extraordinary things.

Overall Rating: 4/5 stars
 

Author's Review

This book was absolutely amazing. MJ Fox is not only a tremendous actor...he's a fantastic writer, comedian and campaigner for a great cause! He knew he was meant to be in the people's eye from an early age. He knew that he could touch other's lives by putting himself out there. But where do you divide your life between just following a script and living the true thing?

Although this book was about his "coming out" with Parkinson's, it wasn't just about Parkinson's. It was about life, in the good times and in the bad.

The most compelling story line jumps from him being a typical child from your average run-of-the-mill family to a down in the dumps actor, and then to a very wealthy man on top of the world. Then, when things just couldn't get any better, BOOM, it happens. He finally gives in to life. Not life on TV or on the BIG SCREEN, but real life.

He talks about the toughness it took to get into Hollywood, his bouts with alcoholism, with family struggles and losses, with feeling holier than thou and acting above the law, and about the strength he found within himself from the love he took from his relationships with his loved ones.

But most importantly, he talks about this disease that not many people truly understand. Parkinson's. The numbers are staggering. The ages of those who may be afflicted are just as frightening. The amount of time someone lives with Parkinson's before they ever see a symptom or start to recognize a change in themselves made me start to wonder about my own bodily quirks!

Fox really is a Lucky Man. He seems to have come full circle with life: being successful in his work, having a strong family (making amends where needed), recovering from one disease and helping others come to grips with Parkinson's. It takes someone special to do it all.
