Book Chat: Always Looking Up

Always Looking Up by Michael J. Fox


****
"Mr. Fox approaches his 2nd book at various different angles. He talks of his childhood memories, traveling with his family, mostly moving from one town to another as he grew up with a military father. I was amazed hearing of the coping skills he had to "learn" while interacting with his children and the patience, love, etc of his wife, dealing with the uncertainties of PD[Parkinsons].
No matter your political stand in stem cell research, you do have to give him credit for his tenacity and conviction in this very delicate issues. He also touches on his 'acting' through his twitches, etc. while acting in a role. Lastly, what stood out to me was his humor and wit while dealing every day with PD. Through it all he gained a new closeness to his family, his faith and his love of life... always looking up!" -Charlotte Kraft

  1. Charlotte- I totally agree! This book was one of the most inspiring and fun books I've read. I thought that Fox's down to earth view of life is both enlightening and entertaining. ~Angela
