The Good Neighbor: The Life and Work of Fred Rogers by Maxwell King
4.0
Let me preface this by saying that I am not a non-fiction person. I'm mildly ashamed to admit this, being a reading specialist and all, and yet it's true. I especially tend to steer away from biographies for fear that they will be so dry that I will end up disgusted with the person I'm reading about. This one, though -- this one was different.
I cried several times while reading this book, and often stopped to watch Mr. Rogers episodes or TV appearances that King referenced. Even more impressive, though? I was rarely bored, mainly because of King's skillful organization and meticulous research. Reading The Good Neighbor made me truly miss Mr. Rogers and all that he brought to the world while he was in it. Don't shy away from this. It's worth it.
