Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly in "Back to the Future" |
Well, even though I am only about half-way through the book, it is surprisingly insightful already. I am learning new things about this actor that I thought I knew so much about. I'm also realizing school is worth every penny, but maybe not in the ways I'm using them.
Not to give too much away, it is a memoir unlike many others. The chapters are short, but they are filled with knowledge. This high school drop out named Michael moves to Los Angeles to become a big Hollywood actor, and he learns many things usually contained to textbooks outside in the real world. I am learning new things about life and school with every turn of the page.
If you get a chance, read it. It's not a deep read, but it's an interesting, fun and (as I've said multiple times) fairly insightful read. To end on a quote I found powerful: "But what's happening to you right now, precisely at this instant, belongs only to you. Own it."
