Lucky Man: A Memoir: A Memoir | Paperback

Even if you're not a fan of his movies, or even the guy himself reading this book will change your mind. I've always enjoyed his ventures in the entertainment industry but this book is his greatest acomplishment...

The book tells of his life, the ups and downs, but also his sruggle with Parkinsons, and describes its effects and how it affects peoples life, including his own.

He's a very talented writer, witty and at some points had me laughing aloud, but there are very serious issues in this book.

The only downside to this book? Its not long enough, at the end i wanted it to continue. The book flows so well that i read it in two sittings, i couldn't put it down.

Mr Michael J. Fox I salute you, you're a funny, multi-talented, brave man and i look forward to a second book.

Lucky Man is an incredibly easy read and Mr Fox makes you cry at the top of one page and cry with laughter at the end of the next - talk about the ups and downs of life!

Go on try it you will enjoy it.

This is an Amazing book.Being a huge fan of the guy already and grown up watching the BTTF trilogy time and time again,i was tempted to purchase this book years ago but delayed for some reason. After reading it this week,it has made me even more of a fan."LUCKY MAN" is a brave,open,touching and funny journey.He takes you through all the Highs and lows of his young,yet very dramatic life.Through the efforts of trying to make it big as a young actor in the late 70s,to making it BIGGER than he could have ever imagined during his time as the golden boy of the 80s,then bringing you through the hardships of hiding his diagnosis of Parkinsons Disease for so many years in the fears of being treated different and fears of ending his career at such a young age. The book shows how amazingly opptamistic he is about life in general and is quite inspiring. Reading it can make you think how you would deal with one of lifes little suprises.....No matter how bad your day has been,you can always list endless reasons why YOU are a Lucky Man.

The best autobiography I have ever read, read it three times and still can't get enough of it. Who'd have thought Michael could write such a touching yet honest memoir. Had me captivated from the start with his light sense of humour and I instantly felt like he was talking directly to me. A must read for his fans and an absolute pleasure to read over and over again......

Even if you dont really like Michael J Fox's work, after reading this you will respect the man. In a down to earth, humourous and heartfelt way he recounts his early life and career and the early diagnosis of parkinsons disease that would have destroyed many a lesser man but that Michael veiws as something of a blessing. Forcing him to semi retire and push work to one side he re-embraced the family he was in danger of losing and for this reason considers himself a lucky man.
Its an inspiring read, and never less than compelling be it detailing how he worked double shifts to fit filming Back to The future in with his work in Family Ties or describing how the early symptoms of Parkinsons made playing Johnny B Goode in the sequel so much harder. Lucky man reveals Michael J Fox not only to be an extremely strong person but he also comes across as extremely humble and likeable. Its an excellent book and should be read by all.
