I really enjoyed Being Henry. Henry Winkler details his life as an actor who had early success he couldn't repeat but kept fighting and working on himself. I was surprised to learn he suffered from extreme dyslexia; I was in awe he managed to learn his lines in a time that didn't take such things seriously nor make any effort to help those with issues. While his upbringing was very different from my own, I was able to see myself in his story as I have the same kind of issues.
Co-author James Kaplan helps Winkler put thoughts in easy-to-read sections. Short sections make it easier to read and is almost conversational. This all makes perfect sense based on how Henry's brain works. The only thing I didn't like is that things don't stay in a timeline; it was difficult for me to put years together that aren't together because my dyslexia includes dyscalculia.
