I loved this book so much, I read it twice! Michael J. Fox had me hooked on the very first page. I had reservations about reading the book, assuming it would be depressing but I was mistaken. He does go onto his life with his illness but in a nice way. I loved his point of view and about how his family dealt with everything. This book was funny and left me feeling like I can handle whatever came my way. Very inspiring!

Very funny book by a legend. This paperback version has the same cover as the hardcover with new material added.

What an enjoyable light summer read! I spent the summer relaxing in my yard with my two dogs while reading this fun book. This book is broken down into many chapters on dog behavior. It's full of facts, stories and fun tidbits of information explaining why our best friends act the way they do. I would also recommend this book to older children and teens who love dogs. It is not a children's book but I think older kids can handle it. Would be great for any child who might be getting a new dog. Great book!

The title of this book is A Work in Progress and I just finished reading it. I loved it! I'm a mother of two teens and I would highly recommend this book for teens, preteens and parents alike. Connor uses humor and stories from his own young life to help young people with the challenges they might face. It is a very entertaining read. Most young people will know him from his Youtube success and will relate to his upfront way of saying things like "just be yourself" and how everyone is going through similar things at that age.
