Book 16: Always Looking Up, The adventures of an incurable optimist
By Michael J. Fox
I've always enjoyed reading and learning about people. Which is why when I saw this book on sale for $2.99 at Amazon, I quickly bought it. It's not that I was disappointed really, I mean how can you say you are disappointed with someones own story of their life. I just expected it to be different. I can't even imagine all that he has had to go through in his life. Being a celebrity is not always easy I'm sure. Then to be diagnosed with Parkinson's is a huge trial. I like the fact that he talks about in the book, having to look at what is happening now, and deal with it, not worrying about what is happening in the future. The book mainly described his journey in getting his non profit organization up and running. His fight along the campaign trail for funding for stem cell research, and then briefly what life is like for him now with his family.
The book is good, don't get me wrong. I just picked it up thinking it would be more about his family life than his non profit organization, and his life in this new role.
I give this book 3 stars. Many will love it, it just wasn't quite for me.
