Neil Patrick Harris: Choose Your Own Autobiography
by David Javerbaum, Neil Patrick Harris
I'm a big fan on NPH. I watched Doogie Howser faithfully when I was in college and couldn't believe when our little Doogie went on to become not only famous but famous and awesome.
NPH has led a seemingly charmed life. He's got a great family, a cool career, and fun hobbies. He seems, in just about every way, like a person I would love to hang around with. He loves Disney, the Muppets, Broadway and reality TV. If he starts running marathons he might really be the perfect BFF for me.
In any case, as a person who really likes NPH, knows his whole career and is about his same age, this memoir is custom built for me to enjoy. I mean really - how could a bookworm of my particular age resist the Choose Your Own Adventure format? It even has the hilarious bad choice endings that will be very familiar to those who have read a bunch of CYOA books. (The venomous snakes was my favorite!)
It's a super easy read, the format is fun (but will require you to page through the whole book at some point to make sure you didn't miss anything) and for me totally worth reading. If you are looking for some kind of deep story or gossipy tell all you aren't going to find it here. I did find the chapters about him coming to terms with his sexuality quite interesting and there's a particularly funny story involving Scott Caan but other than that it's all quite tame.
