If you would like to give a negative one, please pipe down.
Now that that’s out of the way, I’ll just start with saying
that this is the funniest premise for a Choose Your Own Adventure that I’ve
heard yet. And to be honest, I don’t think NPH’s personality would come through
any other way. Because he is a joker, and an actor, so this was a really great
way to bring that out. And how do you know that autobiographies are accurate
all the time? You expect them to be, but everyone’s going to lie at least a
little (intentionally or not) in a depiction of their life. At least he’s
upfront about it.
The actual autobiographical stuff is poignant and touching,
including meeting his partner David and having their two kids. There’s also
plenty of humor regarding his shenanigans in the world of theater and awards
show hosting. With little snippets of interesting personal information (his favorite
place on earth, for example). And of course there’s pictures of the young Neil!
It isn’t just an autobiography, there’s drinks, recipes, and
even a crossword puzzle! (Speaking of, I bullshitted half of the answers, does
anyone want to discuss them with me?) NPH is quite talented.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone, fans of NPH or
fans of quirky books. It’s sure to please.
