one of ny favorites

thanj you for letting me be able to learn more of mr landon .he was and always will be one of my favorites

Good listen just not what I was after

The first couple chapters was more what I was hoping for but the last bit was just telling the episodes of shows.

Good listening!

This is a very informative, insightful book. A few wrong pronunciations, but still a good book!

Not what I expected

Not what I expected but that’s my own fault. I should have paid more attention to the title. The book is mostly an account of episodes of tv shows Landon was a part of. While that’s a nice walk down memory lane, it meant there was very little shared about Landon and his life outside of work. The recording needs some additional editing as well.

An Audible Listen Through Memory Lane

I have been a fan of Michael Landon since I was 10 years old and has a crush on Little Joe from Bonanza. I was looking for a biography or story of his life, which has been somewhat difficult to find. First of all this is Not a story about Michael Landon's life. It does give brief synopses of most of the episodes of the TV series he has done, Little House on the Prairie, Bonanza, Highway to Heaven, etc. I really enjoyed it, it's like going down memory lane and they do discuss interesting insights and special features related to various shows such as those that received special awards and episodes that Michael Landon particularly liked or didn't like, etc. The narrator was good and easy enough to listen to. I am planning to read a biography they suggested at the end called : Michael Landon: Life, Love, and Laughter. Unfortunately it is not available on kindle or Audible you can only find it either at the library or they have a few used copies for sale on Prime.
