pickWhat a wonderful time. ☺️ While the 'choose your own adventure' format is somewhat modified for the audiobook, I love how it was done, and I would not want to pass up the chance to listen to Neil Patrick Harris narrating the majority of the book. The little missives from friends and acquaintances peppered throughout are in a different narrators voice, but they're almost more hilarious for being read in a deadpan 'straight-man' style 1/?
Robotswithpersonality 2/? by a generic sounding old British guy voice. In keeping with a man who's gone from Doogie to Harold and Kumar to Dr. Horrible, there are moments of broad and even raunchy humour, but the overall tone is one of sincerity and gratitude. Harris obviously enjoys the work he does, from television and film to award show hosting and Broadway, finding it engaging and challenging and fulfilling, 10h
Robotswithpersonality 3/? but it's clear how much his happiness is due to the family he's made with the love of his life, David, and their kids. It's honestly just lovely to hear from someone who manages a life in show business without meteoric rises and pitfalls, which is not to say the book doesn't acknowledge the work projects that didn't go well, the journey to coming out publicly as gay. 10h
Robotswithpersonality 4/4 Maybe wholesome is in unwanted, saccharine attribute, but it comes pretty close to the overall vibe. If you need a boost, and enjoy bursting into laughter at the bus stop, I highly recommend. 10h
