Publisher Description

Tired of memoirs that only tell you what really happened?
Sick of deeply personal accounts written in the first person? Seeking an exciting, interactive read that puts the 'u' back in 'aUtobiography'? Then look no further than Neil Patrick Harris: Choose Your Own Autobiography! In this revolutionary, Joycean experiment in light celebrity narrative, actor/personality/carbon-based-life-form Neil Patrick Harris lets you, the reader, live his life. You will be born in New Mexico. You will get your big break at an acting camp. You will get into a bizarre confrontation outside a nightclub with actor Scott Caan. Even better, at each critical juncture of your life you will choose how to proceed. You will decide whether to try out for Doogie Howser, M.D. you will decide whether to spend years struggling with your sexuality. You will decide what kind of caviar you want to eat on board Elton John's yacht. 
Choose incorrectly and you'll find misery, heartbreak, and a hideous death by piranhas. All this, plus magic tricks, cocktail recipes, embarrassing pictures from your time as a child actor, and even a closing song.

Interesting read but the structure gets irritating

NPH delivers a heartfelt memoir which is full of great anecdotes...BUT the "choose your own adventure" format gets seriously irritating.

I read it straight through and it still made sense but the format just seemed forced by the end. Also it's full of useless info which starts as endearing (magic tricks, cocktail recipes) but ends up getting in the way of a life story that didn't need any embellishments to make it interesting.

Nevertheless, glad I read it.
