Always Looking Up

Always Looking Up by Michael J. Fox was an awesome peek into his daily life and some of the events I remember from the news of years past.

It's the second book he has written since being diagnosed with Parkinson's. It is of course, as inspiring as one would expect. I keep forgetting that he has good comedic timing and every so often a line will surprise me.
I was a little bored with a lot of the political discussion but he prefaced it by talking about how it had interested him before he became an activist for PD. I also like how he is solely focused on stem cell research and not party lines. He has a good respect for people who don't share his opinions so it shouldn't put off the readers of opposing views. (Well, at least intelligent readers)

This book really opened my eyes to how little we know of the movie stars we love and made me feel pride in  having appreciated his acting. I like knowing that an actor I admire for their skill on screen is a decent person off screen as well.

Fox really knows how to maintain a great perspective through the most trying of situations. A skill and a gift I wish I could bottle and share.

I don't really read a lot of these biographical type books, but of the few I have read this was a nice, easy read. If you read Lucky Man I think you will like this one too.
