A very enjoyable read with the expected numerous lighthearted sections. It did have quite a few serious moments which was good. It is always nice to see another side of a favorite actor. To my mind it was very much like an interview with Dick van Dyke!

Legendary actor Dick Van Dyke’s memoir of his extraordinary life makes a fast and entertaining read. Who doesn’t remember his character Rob Petrie from the Dick Van Dyke show and Bert from Mary Poppins? These characters still entertain today just as they did in the 1960s. His memoir traces his public and personal life from his first job at 17 as a part-time radio announcer for the local CBS radio station, to his ongoing projects in which he is currently involved. It doesn’t appear that he has any plans for retirement! Van Dyke also discusses his 36 year marriage to his wife Margie, his children and his 35-year relationship with Michelle Triola. The library has this book available in a variety of formats; print, book on CD as well as downloadable ebook and audiobook! Pick your favourite format and enjoy reading about one of North America’s favourite entertainers.

Dick Van Dyke is the best of the best actors/writers/entertainers. This is a great book of his life, very easy reading and is a fun book to read!

Dick Van Dyke is one of my favorite actors. The book was never slow in places or boring. I loved reading inside info about The Dick Van Dyke show.

Rob Petrie!
