Review of "The Boys" by Ron and Clint Howard

4 stars

A unique and surprisingly effective two-person memoir from Ron Howard and Clint Howard. The book is a tribute to their parents who were actors themselves and trained the boys to be successful professionals starting from a young age, but otherwise oversaw a very normal American family. The book is filled with tales from four lifetimes of acting (and in Ron's case, directing), inside-Hollywood drama, the nostalgia of shows like the Andy Griffith Show and Happy Days, and above all personal and engaging story-telling.
