A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Future...Twists and Turns and Lessons Learned

In his third memoir—following the LJ best sellers Lucky Man (2002) and Always Looking Up (2009)—abridged editions of which are also available from Recorded Books/Hyperion Audio—high school dropout Fox (www.michaeljfox.org) goes from broke, destitute, and hounded by bill collectors to superstar movie man. During his eventful journey, he accidentally learns the basics of economics, political science, comparative literature, physics, and more. This compact, biographical book of counsel and speculation for a YA audience is comical, genial, and trademark Fox. The author himself reads, bringing warmth to our hearts with his familiar voice. As we have come to expect, Fox doles out advice while honestly portraying himself, his family, and his work without mincing words or deleting circumstance. Great for fans of the Grammy Award-winning audio edition of Always Looking Up, also read by Fox, and especially well suited to recent grads.—Terry Ann Lawler, Phoenix P.L.
