Summary: Ron Howard Child Star & Hollywood Director
Review: Ron Howard had a very interesting childhood with being Opie Taylor in a very famous TV series, The Andy
Griffith Show, and then moving on to more interesting times with his debut on "Love and the Happy Days." It was
a pilot episode which was then named Happy Days. On Happy Days he played Richie Cunningham. During the
six years he was doing Happy Days, he married his high school sweetheart. He left Happy Days because he wanted
to pursue his dream of directing. The reason for wanting to be a director was because when acting if he didn't like
the script he would have to live with it. If he was a director he could change what he didn't like. The first movie
he directed was Grand Theft Auto, he also acted in this movie. As time went on he had several films that didn't go
so well in the box office, so when he directed Apollo 13 he worked very hard to make it a success. He showed the
world what a great director he really was. The book "Ron Howard Child Star & Hollywood Director," on a scale of one to five is a three. The
book didn't really have a captivating mood or keep your interest throughout the entire book. In my opinion it was
slow and ponderous. Even in the parts that were more interesting, the author was slow to get to her point, I didn't
like that about the book. What I enjoyed in the book was how his family was the number one thing in Howard's
life. The main focus of this book shows how " Ron Howard has proved that a child star can grow up to find adult
happiness and success."

Summary: Ron Howard: Child Star & Hollywood Director
Review: Ron Howard has always been a symbol of something good coming from an era of "Drug freaks and acid heads." I'm his same age and I lived in that same time when the clamps or thumb screws, as we called them, were put on us--the younger brothers and sisters--by our parents. We always felt that we were stymied as a direct result of the exiled hippy generation. I remember hearing the words of Cruchev. He said, 'American children were nothing but spoiled brats.' Ron Howard, from Opie Taylor to the director of Apollo 13, has been a wonderful sample of the many good qualities that have come from our generation. Ron Howard's example and accomplishments was one of the main reasons I purchased the book. The other reason was the Author: Barbara Kramer. Barbara Kramer has a style that allows a young reader to read at a rapid pace,while at the same time, enabling the reader to comprehend the contents of the book. As an adult reader, and author, I read the book with great enthusiasim. I'm actually a slow reader but I finished this book in one hour and enjoyed every minute of it. If there is one thing I dislike, it's a biography that is slow and ponderous. I think young readers feel the same. "Ron Howard: Child Star & Hollywood Director," picks up on all the interesting points of his life. I was particularly interested in how Family was number one to the Howards. They wanted to make sure Ron had a normal childhood. I also liked how Ron got along with people of the older generation, like Betty Davis and John Wayne. In my opinion that was how the "Generation Gap" was really bridged, by people like Ron Howard. Great book. my wife is next in line to read it after she's through my oldest son wants to check it out.
