I loved NPH in HIMYM, and a library patron told me he narrates his own autobiography audiobook. The audio is very worth the time, because he is a great entertainer, not only actor. Writing his autobiography as a choose your own adventure is the kind of unique choice I'd expect from what I've seen and heard of him on TV and in the media. He adjusted the audio format well for the style, and I NEVER got bored learning more about his life and career or his untimely death. My favorite tale from the book is his journey having children with David, which highlights the quality of parents anyone can be that are determined to have children in a loving home. I would have liked more stories from HIMYM, but I feel that he gives a balanced account of his acting career. I laughed out loud numerous times while listening and usually had to force myself to pause the book.

Format is extremely creative and fun, but a little annoying and silly with multiple fake death chapters. Author reads it very well. I wish other stars had made cameos to read their own letters rather than just one other reader for all. 
I understand sexuality is really important to the author’s identity, but it is so graphically over the top, frequent, and extremely defensive and biased against Christians- it gets really old and awkward.
