I recall watching Happy Days throughout my lifetime, so I was interested in getting to know Henry Winkler a bit more. Right from the start, he is open and gives readers an inside look at everything, but not in an overly detailed way, which is a good thing. He's vulnerable in sharing about his childhood and his relationship with his parents. I'm a former special education teacher, so it was interesting to learn that he has dyslexia. It's sad that the times were different when he was growing up and the resources we have now weren't available then. I enjoyed reading about his audition for Happy Days. He is open about how things changed once he became famous. The book is well written, and it's somewhat short compared to other memoirs I've read, which makes it a quick read. I already knew he was a great actor, but this book is a testament to the fact that he's a great human being, as well.
