Lucky Man (Abridged): A Memoir Audiobook

" Inspirational. A very real, true and charismatic look at the life of a big shot, followed by a very honest read about the nature of early onset Parkinson's disease. Powerful. Highly recommend. "

" Very interesting and well written memoir. Fox does a good job of weaving the tales of his own life and his battle with his disease without getting too maudlin or bitter. He strikes a nice balance that affirms the general perception that he is one of the few relatively nice celebrities and a decent person. "

" This book was surprisingly engaging, interesting and moving. I read it for research purposes, I'm not even a big Michael J. Fox fan, but I really enjoyed this. I even got misty-eyed a couple of times - well written and very readable. "

" Michael's personal account of his family, struggles, triumphs and eventual diagnosis of early onset Parkinson's Disease. "

" Love love love MJF!! "

" very good read!! came at a time when i really needed it!! "

" Since my grandmother has been battling Parkinson's for years, it was a nice insight on the disease. Plus who doesn't love Marty?! "

" Such a great actor and now author. I thoroughly enjoy his books and love the way he looks at things. He's courageous and admirable. "

" Inspiring, a great read. Michael is candid and portrays the reality of coming to terms with this illness. "

" I thoroughly enjoy memoirs of celebrities and Michael J. Fox's was no exception. Being in the field of physical therapy, I find his living with Parkinson's Disease very pertinent and and also important as he is such an advocate for the disease. Very good read. "

" Very inspiring story of someone who's turned a devastating diagnosis into an inspiration for others. "

" I'm not a huge nonfiction fan, but this interested me based on two things: the Parkinson's aspect cuz my gramp passed away from it, and his social habits when he was young cuz I saw him as Alex p Keaton "

" I was pleasantly surprised at how intelligently written this book was. Michael J. Fox uses self-deprecating humor throughout the book which makes him even more endearing than most people already view him. It was a very quick read that gave a lot of insight into this very genuine man. "

" This book was a struggle to get through. Very disjointed and dry. "

" Would have liked to hear as much about his adult years as his childhood. Interesting that his twin girls were also TTTS survivors - but they didn't even know about it until they were born. "

" An engaging memoir of the TV actor we all came to know in the 80's, his advancement in TV & movies and his struggle with parkinson's disease. Thoughtful and well written. "

" This was one of those autobiographies that made me like the subject even more. What a journey Michael Fox has taken. I have a lot of respect for him, and for his strength and courage. My father-in-law had Parkinson's and it is a devastating illness. "

" Michael shares a view of his life as a star in Hollywood (which is crazy-sick) and his life with young-onset Parkinson's Disease. A lot of good stuff. "

" it was interesting. i had a lot of respect for him after reading this book. "

" Autobiography of MJF and how he learned about PD. He also goes into detail about growing up when young and after he learned that he had PD. "

" What can I say? I love autobiographies and I love Michael J. Fox. It was the perfect book for me. I got to know that man and I also learned about the disease that changed his life. Because of this book I support stem cell research. "

" I don't care who knows it - I love this man, his book, and his insight on Parkinson's research. "

" I love Michael J Fox and I really enjoyed reading this book that helped spread awareness about Parkinson's "

" An absolutely compelling, amusing and moving account to dealing with this horrendous disease. I could not put it down. "

" I had to read this book because I was amazed at how he could turn something so devastating into something positive and remain optimistic and hopeful. I enjoyed watching him in Family Ties when I was growing up. The book was very inspirational and interesting. "

" Inspiring book from an incredible man. I was surprised to learn about his life, family, beliefs, etc.(things not in the popular press) and then even more impressed by how he's handled his challenges and has made such a difference in funding research through his charitable foundation. "

" I really enjoyed the writing in this book. Michael J Fox has a way of being uplifting and encouraging even though he has endured so much over the years. "

" Inspiring guy, and smarter than I expected.<br/> "

" A great book by a man who surpassed his comedic acting abilities by his wonderful decision to openly deal with his Parkinson's and by setting up a foundation to raise money for research and to educate people. He is a good man, a wonderful actor, and God chose him to be our representative. "

" The book is divided into four sections: work, politics, faith and family. The latter two are the most interesting but unfortunately the former two take up the most of the book. "

" Again Michael J Fox narrated this book himself. I find him an interesting man with incredible insight about a lot of things. I must say that it wasn't quite as good as Lucky Man but he is still very entertaining. "

" Great book with a wonderful message on optimism, hope, and faith. It also includes a very interesting story of meeting Lance Armstrong at the Tour De France, and how he helped kick off the Fox Foundation. Also great information on stem cell research especially from his perspective. "

" I like it so far, it's taking me forever to finish, similar in a way to some biographies that seem to drag on but when you are finished you are glad to have read them. "

" Listened to this on CD, read by Michael J. Fox - loved it. I would like to see my life through the eyes that he sees his through. "

" Honestly written account by one of my favourite actors. Even though politics never interested me much, I was drawn through that section by the science and the easy writing style. It made me feel hopeful. "

" I found this book to be really inspiring. Michael J. Fox has been one of my favorites since his time on Family Ties and he's got a wonderful way of telling a story. His perspective on stem cell research, family, and love is really worth checking out. "
