As a child of the 80s, I was aware of Doogie Howser. It wasn't a show my parents watched, but I would catch an occasional rerun or the end of an episode. I knew who Neil Patrick Harris was, but he wasn't really on my radar. Then I was watching a celebrity texas hold-em show on Bravo (remember that one - I think Kevin Pollack hosted for awhile), and NPH was one of the players (sadly, this game is not mentioned in the book). I remember thinking he was really funny.

Flash forward to the writer's strike and a little thing called Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog (this happily, is mentioned in the book). I was hooked. I bought it on multiple platforms after watching it for free (download, DVD, and soundtrack!).

After that, I have watched with interest many of NPH's endeavors (except for The Smurfs. I just can't). So when this book came out, with the choose your own adventure hook, I knew I had to read it.

And I adored it. Honest, insightful, and funny enough to make me laugh out loud. I now wait to see what he's going to do next - oh, right, he's playing freakin' Count Olaf in the new Lemony Snicket series. Sign me up.
