Future Boy: Back to the Future and My Journey Through the Space-Time Continuum

When I first saw Back to the Future at the cinema (at the age of 20) way back in 1985 it became one of my favourite films ever-and it still is! In fact my family and I saw it at the Royal Albert Hall last week, with an orchestra playing the music live, and a surprise appearance from composer Alan Sivestri.
In Future Boy Michael J Fox tells his story of starring as Marty McFly in this classic film, while also appearing in the TV series Family Ties. It seemed an impossible task to act in a major Hollywood film and a hit TV series at the same time, but Fox (then aged 23) managed to do both with incredible success.
I've read quite a lot about the making of Back to the Future over the years, but Fox comes up with plenty of new stories and there are also new interviews with the cast and crew. This was a short, but highly enjoyable read and another great book from Michael J Fox. Can it really be 40 years since I first saw Back to the Future ?! Great Scott!!
