While the structure was odd, a bit drop in and at times I felt disjointed, it really was a human story that was conveyed so beautifully. I really enjoyed reading it and finished it quickly.

What a delightful book about such a sweet, caring and compassionate man! Henry speaks candidly about dealing with the highs and lows of his career, being a geeky TV fan like the rest of us, and turning his struggles with dyslexia into a book series to help kids with the same challenges. So cool that his wife Stacey chimed in by narrating the chapters about her. Love this heartwarming memoir as well as his children‘s books. 🙌🏻
I used up all 21 days to listen to Henry Winkler and I wish I could send a note along with the book when I return it. 6 people are waiting for a turn. It's such a good day to be warm in a chair with a hot beverage and the soft voice of such a cool dude. He has done so much for dyslexia.
Took Littens‘ recommendations to listen to this memoir. Y‘all were right—this is a delightful book with Winkler like a friendly neighbor. I often watched Happy Days as a kid but I also love Winkler in Parks and Rec. Found the parts about his dyslexia really interesting.
I truly appreciated Winkler‘s honesty in this novel–about himself and others–and the ways in which he turns his tales of struggles into an inspirational story highlighting his perseverance. It shows how if you work towards a dream, any obstacle can be overcome if you want it, and while you might not always succeed in the way you originally intended, things happen for a reason and you can always learn and grow from your experiences.
This was an enjoyable listen. No startling revelations (like many celebrity memoirs have), but Henry Winkler seems like a genuinely good guy, and I liked getting to know more of his story.
