Michael J. Fox chronicles his life before and then 10 years past his Parkinson\\\'s diagnosis. He takes readers through his childhood in Canada and his early acting success and then failure and then success again on the show that not only launched his career, but also made it possible for him to even stay in the the US. He discusses his family, his feelings about celebrity, and how he finally came to terms with his disease. There\\\'s a lot of interesting information here for those who know little about his life, though the frequent jumping around in time makes it hard to follow at times. Though he had his jerky moments it\\\'s nice to see that the persona he projects on screen is not that far from how he is in real life- a genuinely nice person.
