Michael J. Fox delivers "Always Looking Up" with the same heart and full force emotion as "Lucky Man." It's amazing how optimistic and full of hope he is and how dedicated he remains to his Foundation. Lucky Man focused more on Fox's pre-PD life and his relationship with his wife, but Always Looking Up reflects back on the last 10 years of his life, by breaking his novel into four themes: Work, Politics, Faith, Family. The section in which Fox talks about the Rush Limbaugh incident is particularly strong...and appauling. I didn't think I needed another reason to abhor Limbaugh! But the grace and professionalism with which Fox handled the situation is admirable. Fox also takes a few chapters to share personal stories about two of his heroes: Christopher Reeve and his life after the horse riding accident and Muhammad Ali, who also suffers from PD. Both chapters are full of emotion and also very inspiring. I think Fox puts it best with, "You suffer the blow, but you capitalize on the opportunity left open in its wake."
