Mike has stories that haven't been told and he tells them in a personable humorous way.
How close was he? So close that, at the Topanga Canyon house, he shared the same small one room bedroom with Neal, Cindy (Smith) and Alice.
I read the early draft and look forward to reading the finished book.

I just finished reading this about half an hour ago. I really enjoyed it. Every book I’ve read by those who were there helps paint a more vivid picture of what it must have been like and all the characters become more realised. I’m now really looking forward to Neal’s account but the one I’m really, really, really looking forward to reading is Cindy’s .

Yes, Mike's book is great, and both Neal and Cindy have their own unique insights. Neal was more savvy to the business side of things and Cindy has more behind the scenes stories.

That’s what I guessed regarding Cindy. It’s been fun learning more about the behind the scenes members of the family, Mike, Dick, Charlie and of course Toodie!
