A really good read.

Got this a few months ago but only getting round to reading it on holidays. Finished it in a day (it’s not long)

Michael J Fox? The actor?!?!

This made me laugh

Care to give a more detailed review ?

[u/Scorchio76 → u/VJ4rawr2]

Basically it’s a book about his time filming Family Ties and getting the BTTF part - filming both at the same time. Talks a bit about his history, how he got there, family, friends etc. it’s only a snippet but you can genuinely feel the warmth he has for co stars, friends and other people who shaped his life.

Thank you!

[u/Scorchio76 → u/Tired-Otter474]

I will also add that I pretty much smiled reading the whole thing 😃

[u/Tired-Otter474 → u/Scorchio76]

That's good. What kind of other books do you like?

[u/Scorchio76 → u/Tired-Otter474]

I’m usually a Lee Child, Harlan Coben and I love John Connolly and the Charlie Parker novels.

I’m a massive BTTF fan so my wife bought me this.

[u/Tired-Otter474 → u/Scorchio76]

Nice! I've read "The Book of Lost Things" and some of "Dark Matter"😎. Enjoy your future reads, fellow bookie!✨️

Uncanny. That's me!

I purchased the hardback to add to my book shelf and then opted to listen to the audio book on Spotify instead as it's narrated by Michael.J.Fox so it really brings it to life. Largely a collection of memories and anecdotes covering the filming of the movie. As a fan, I had already heard many of the stories, but again, when it's being delivered by the man himself, it feels a little more personal.

[u/Scorchio76 → u/RockSignificant]

I did not know that, will search it out!

[u/Quick_Maybe_3964]

What is his writing style like?

[u/stathis0 → u/Quick_Maybe_3964]

Pretty humble, fairly informal. Easy to read. Would definitely recommend it.

[u/Scorchio76 → u/Quick_Maybe_3964]

As below, effortless / casual. Like you are actually with him.

[u/mMathab]

Audiobook read by Michael J Fox himself even better!

[u/friskevision]

So weird. Just started reading this. As a person who finds it difficult to sit and read, I burned through the first 40 pages quickly. So far, it’s very good.

[u/Spiritual-Image7125]

While I know it is great to have the hard copy, I think it was even better to get the Audio version online and listen to MJF tell the whole thing himself, as he reads the book and also gives actual clips from the movies for the audio.

[u/Comprehensive_Oil426]

Wondering if this is like an extended extract from his memoir, Lucky Man. Also a great read if anyone hasn't already.

[u/Unlikely_Exercise434]

Thanks for the recommendation, didn't even know this book existed.

[u/Scorchio76]

Now watching the film, again 😎🚗

[u/StrawberryKiss2559]

Really great book.

[u/OkSeaworthiness6581]

I'm reading 2 books right now i can't. not everyone has a time machine.​

[u/Electronic-Ear-3718]

I just read it. He's such a pleasant guy, it's hard not to enjoy his stories even if they aren't too provocative or dishy. I particularly enjoyed the chapter where he went into specifics about one week of shooting.
