About this product

Product Information

A funny, highly personal, gorgeously written account of what it's like to be a 30-year-old man who is told he has an 80-year-old's disease. "Life is great. Sometimes, though, you just have to put up with a little more crap." -- Michael J. Fox In September 1998, Michael J. Fox stunned the world by announcing he had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease -- a degenerative neurological condition. In fact, he had been secretly fighting it for seven years. The worldwide response was staggering. Fortunately, he had accepted the diagnosis and by the time the public started grieving for him, he had stopped grieving for himself. Now, with the same passion, humor, and energy that Fox has invested in his dozens of performances over the last 18 years, he tells the story of his life, his career, and his campaign to find a cure for Parkinson's. Combining his trademark ironic sensibility and keen sense of the absurd, he recounts his life -- from his childhood in a small town in western Canada to his meteoric rise in film and television which made him a worldwide celebrity. Most importantly however, he writes of the last 10 years, during which--with the unswerving support of his wife, family, and friends -- he has dealt with his illness. He talks about what Parkinson's has given him: the chance to appreciate a wonderful life and career, and the opportunity to help search for a cure and spread public awareness of the disease. He is a very lucky man, indeed. The Michael J. Fox Foundation Michael J. Fox is donating the profits from his book to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research, which is dedicated to fast-forwarding the cure for Parkinson's disease. The Foundation will move aggressively to identify the most promising research and raise the funds to assure that a cure is found for the millions of people living with this disorder. The Foundation's web site, MichaelJFox.org , carries the latest pertinent information about Parkinson's disease, including: A detailed description of Parkinson's disease How you can help find the cure Public Services Announcements that are aired on network and cable television stations across the country to increase awareness Upcoming related Parkinson's disease events and meetings Updates on recent research and developments

The book is in really good condition, other than a bit of a gunky smear above Michael’s eye (wiped off fairly easily). FREE shipping and arrived quickly.

    Take a Ride with Marty Mcfly

    An excellent first hand account of Michael J Fox's childhood, early acting career, struggle with Parkinson's, and family life. An inspirational and uplifting read!

    An inspiring and hilarious book!

    When I first thought to read this book, I was expecting it to be good but sad (like Tuesdays with Morrie). However, I found this book to be HILARIOUS. Fox's sense of humor is amazing. The book was also just as touching as I expected--but I constantly found myself laughing. I think that this book, like Tuesdays with Morrie, really illustrates what matters most in life, tells about a personal metamorphosis, and gives readers really good messages to take away. I would give this book an A+++++. It's one of the best books I've ever read.

    LUCKY MAN

    I bought this book because I love Michael J. Fox and was interested in his life and his struggle with Parkinsons's disease and how he has dealt with it all. The book is excellent and very informative and I felt as if I lived his life along with him. The only thing I wish it had in it were more pictures of him and his family. There were no pictures of his brother or sisters and it would have been nice to see them. Otherwise it was a book worth buying. I would recommend it to anyone who loves MJF or anyone suffering with Parkinson's. Very well written. Terri S.

    Highly Recommend

    I have always keep up on any information on Micheal J. Fox since his illness. I beleive he is a very good roll model for anyone who has taken ill. I felt it was great how the books profits went to the Foundation for Parkinson's Research. The book went into great details of his life and career moves. I love how the book discussed how much family and love can get you through anything. Especially the will to fight and live!
