Neil Patrick Harris ; Choose Your Own Autobiography Review

 I rate books by three main categories, an extra category if the book deserves a special category for some reason, and the overall enjoyment factor.

The Cover

I really really liked this cover. It really did remind me of the old choose-your-own adventure books, but with NPH on the cover! Very nice!

The Story

Now, I'm not a HUGE reader of non-fiction. I don't avoid it by any means, and I really enjoy some non-fiction. The choose-your-own aspect is what sold me on this book, and I wasn't disappointed. I might anger some people when I say I haven't seen all the many NPH shows. Apart from Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog, I don't know that I've ever really seen him in anything. That doesn't mean I wasn't a fan. I thought he was a great host, and father. Nonetheless I was nervous because a lot of times autobiographies fall short for me. They get boring.

Not this one. The choose-your-own is so great. I laughed out loud reading this book. It tells his own life story, but you can also read some pretend alternate life stories and I can't really explain it, but it's so interesting. So it is sort of fiction and non-fiction at the same time. I was very pleasantly surprised with this book.

The Characters

Can you tell by my rating criteria that I usually read fiction? Anyway, the main character (NPH) is pretty realistic, and I really loved his progression throughout the story. 

Overall

This book was fantastic, it was cute, humorous, and you could choose where it went. I think I read every option, and I was so happy with every one of them. This book is so well thought out and enjoyable. Growing up on R.L. Stine's choose your own horror story books this was really nostalgic for me. 

5/5
