A fantastic account of the author's rise to fame.
I listened to the audio book, read by the author.
Must read for Alda fans, even if you've never watched MASH.

Alan Alda is such a funny person! I loved reading about his life and being able to see more of his younger life. The story was a bunch of stories throughout his life that actually went together pretty well for going out of order. I recommend this book to Alan Alda fans as it gives you a true glimpse into his life.

I really enjoyed this one (thanks to Furies for reminding me of it...even though I just read it this spring, I somehow left it off this list).
Not a name-dropping "how I made it" story, but rather the story of a boy, who is curious and has a fascinating life.
I especially appreciated the delicate way he wrote about his mother and related to the effects her illness had on his personality.
Library check out (was really looking for his newer book, but they don't have it yet).

Delightful. Honest, insightful, funny, and incredibly humble all along. I've always loved Alan Alda, now I love him even more.

This was really lovely to read. Above all, it confirmed my notion of Alan Alda as a kind man and I loved getting to know him a little better amid his strange and fascinating life stories. Recommended for fans and for those interested in acting, show business, mental illness, family dynamics and even physics.

Audio. 3.5 stars, rounded to 4 because I’m thrilled he is as kind as he seems
