I wish I could give it more, but it just simply didn't leave me with anything (maybe except for one of the last points in the book where he talks about his career that has ended or the family house they sold, that they don't owe him anything. They have offered more that he could've asked for and that chapter is now over and you just have to be grateful and accept it).
He has had some of the best first 30 years of anyone's life, followed by some of the worst 30 years, he's managed to keep his wits and sense of humour and he's been blessed by having such a loving and supportive family.
I've enjoyed his acting in The Good Wife most of all, he's simply phenomenal there, but at the same time he remains one of the main characters ever played in time traveling movies.
I wish I would have some remarkable insight after reading the book, but I realise now that maybe that's what's remarkable about his memoir and his life: he's managed to find some sort of happiness in the little things, in all the things most of us take for granted. Too bad it was a disease like this that taught him this lesson.
