First Line: I reached for the rubber knob on my cassette player and cranked Prince to the max.

Why did I pick this book?: I heard that he wrote a book (I think he was on a talk show?) and it peaked my interest.

Summary and Review: Sitcom child actor grows up and tells about his life in the business. I did watch Growing Pains when I was growing up, and later the Left Behind movies. It is always interesting to me to hear the background, in between stuff, especially when it comes from the horse’s mouth. I know it sounds corny, but this book did make me laugh, and cry. There were many bits I read to my husband when I was reading through the book, that made us go hunh, or even laugh. And telling my mom the story of Camp Firefly I found my self so touched, I ended up crying. I will say it was very thick with the ‘religious stuff’ at the end. Although he was being very honest about his life and his views, I could see how this could be very off putting. All around an entertaining read I could pick up and put down as time allowed. =D
