Heeeeeeyyyyy.

I'm not sure I realized what an indelible part of my childhood the Fonz was until I heard Henry Winkler doing his voice in this audiobook. (I know Winkler from that, the Waterboy, Arrested Development, and Parks and Rec.)

And what a treat the audiobook was. I'm so glad I opted for that mode, especially because his wife chimes in several times. What an interesting and special choice.

I loved the pacing of this book - he doesn't linger. He doesn't get bogged down. That makes this a pretty quick read.

Winkler comes across as generally humble, self-deprecating, and diplomatic. He seems like a really nice guy - it was so easy to root for his success, in his career and otherwise. Definitely one I'd recommend if you're a fan.

Thank you to Macmillan Audio for a free ALC of this title for review, as well as Celadon for a free arc.
