A review by siobhanward
The Good Neighbor: The Life and Work of Fred Rogers by Maxwell King

hopeful informative inspiring lighthearted medium-paced

4.0

This was a nice break from depressing NYT books. I appreciated how much work went into this book, and loved that LeVar Burton did the audiobook, that was a fun touch. Overall, this was really solid. It was cool to learn about the amount of thought and intention that went into everything Mr. Rogers did.  Parts of it were kind of dry, but Fred Rogers' life wasn't super glamorous or challenging. There were moments of glamour and challenge, but mostly he had a happy family life and enjoyed his career, and things went well for him. I appreciated how much detail went into his process and his interactions with other people, as those were his hallmarks and cool to learn more about.
