| Funny....funny stuff!! |
Choose Your Own Autobiography Neil Patrick Harris by the sarcastic and witty Neil Patrick Harris...I have been anticipating reading. I love Neil Patrick Harris as an actor so obviously I am gonna be looking forward to falling in love with him as a writer of his own life. Yes...it has lived up to my expectations. He has turned an autobiography into something fun to read. Not that autobiographies are not fun but sometimes they get a little bland...far from the case with this one.
I love that I am reading a book about Neil Patrick Harris by Neil Patrick Harris and I love that as I am reading it I can hear his voice narrating. He writes like I see him in movies...in the media..etc. It's wonderful and refreshing and fun to read!! Then of course there's the whole "choose your own..next chapter...ending" concept....BRILLIANT!! I am not typically a fast reader but I think I was going a hundred miles a minute because I wanted to get through all the twists and turns and then go back and do it all over again...and let me be honest, I did just that. I read this entire book over and over and over because I did not want to leave anything out and because I really enjoyed this book that much. I found myself purposely choosing the endings that I knew were not possibly true just for the laughs (to which there is plenty). He has an amazing childhood and he is proud of it..amazing parents..equally as proud and he does not skimp on the details of his doogie years..his first thoughts on his sexual identity..the women he engaged with..the friends in and out of his life...the people in the business. I especially loved photos..the other celebrity excerpts...the "choice" that was actually wrong and the illustrations for that ending...every bit of it in true Neil Patrick Harris form..sarcastic..theatrical..snooty..HILARIOUS!! Can I recommend the "made for tv movie" details on page 89...the memories section to each..AHAHA. Or better yet the drink recipe for How I Wet Your Mother on page 45 (there are a few cocktail recipes throughout)...another AHAHAHA!!...a word from Whoopie Goldberg on page 37...heeheehee. Oh and if you read the book and read it right then come back and give me a little "Kungaloosh" nod please.
This is a great book to own..an even better book to gift to someone. If you love all things Neil Patrick Harris then this book needs to be in your life. You are going to read this and have Neil narrating inside your head and you are gonna chuckle...no, scratch that you are gonna laugh your ass off!! And I almost forgot to mention that my copy of this book is the freakin' bees knee's...I love the cover color....the pics chosen...love Neil in all his theatrical glory.
