review 1: You will cry so much. Well, I did. It's just a beautiful story of friendship and family and healing. I never liked Mr. Rodgers Neighborhood as a kid. I thought it was boring. But now I love it and just everything about him. He was a wonderful man who loved God and respected children. which is so important. this book talks some at the beginning about the man and about who he was what he believed in who makes you fall in love with him. the rest is about his and Tim Madigans friendship. it taught me so much about what a grown up friendship is and its just a good story full of hope and struggle and healing. It's really a story you could read from anyone not just someone who was friends with Mr. Rodgers but it's quite the sweet and inspiring tale.
review 2: It's nom... moreinally about Tim Madigan's friendship with Fred Rogers -- it says so right there in the title -- but it's really more about Madigan and his family, and the many ways their personal trajectories were altered by Rogers' kindness. For that reason, it's hard to review "I'm Proud of You" -- as a reading experience, it doesn't hang together as well as it probably could, with large chunks given over to personal correspondence and diary-like chapters about Madigan's relationships with his father, brothers, wife, et cetera. But as a sort of literary gateway into thinking about kindness as a transformative act, it's kind of priceless, and for every passage that you might impatiently skip through, there's another that may move you to tears. An uneven book, but perhaps an important one. less
