Summary: Equal Parts Creepy & Funny
Review: Creepy - his bizarre relationship with the lil girl from Growing Pains. It just screamed inappropriate.Funny - When he was just born and the nurse tells his mother, "you better lock that mongloid away in an institution if you know what is best for him!" I also enjoyed his recollections of Patti Lupone and how her diva-ishness would make no accomendations for his Downs. I often wonder if Geri Jewell hates him for stealing her thunder?

Summary: A VERY SPECIAL ACTOR WITH A TALENT FOR HIMSELF!
Review: I remember a friend who was born with down syndrome his name was Nathan Myers. He use to live in Kakabeka Falls a while back. He and I went to St. Martin's School in grade five or six I think? Anyway he kind of looked like a resemblence to TV's Chris Burke the actor who played Corky Thatcher from "Life Goes On" with the same disability that he has. But I have not read this book yet. But i'm sure it's about him and his life told in a biography with the handicap Chris Burke was born. I would like to meet him in person some day and get an autograph and be his fan. Because he reminds me a lot of my old friend Nathan. I remember watching his show long ago and it was interesting to see him play the role as a Thatcher family son with a genetic disorder and a very special person he can be in real life with lots of talent!

Summary: A Great Read
Review: When I first began watching "Life Goes On", years ago, I was immedietly drawn in. The sheer talent and ability of Chris Burke blew me away, and this book really gives insight into his childhood and life. It really is a fantastic story that I suggest to anyone looking to read about someone with the courage and strength of the biggest tiger in the jungle, who overcomes stereotypes and boundaries. I wish there had been a little bit more about the behind the scenes of "Life Goes On" and about his musical career, but all in all, it's well worth the money.
