A review by vylotte
Dancing Barefoot by Wil Wheaton

5.0

I was going through our Little Free Library donations and found this slim little volume. I glanced at it and saw it was written by Wil Wheaton, and that it's an addition to his novel "Just a Geek," stories that they couldn't fit in the book itself. Already a big fan of his humor and honesty, I grabbed it out. SIGNED! A signed copy! (Dear "Devin," your loss, man.) So I took it inside and consumed it in about 40 minutes. As expected, just delightful. And how can you not like finally hearing the whole story behind "WILLIAM FUCKING SHATNER?"

I can't help but recall the day my son went up to him at ECCC and was SO! EXCITED! To meet the guy from Big Bang Theory (lolol) and Wil was kind and engaging and signed the strap of his dirty pre-teen backpack and my son remembers it to this day. That is the sign of a decent person who thinks of his fans as people and not just numbers.

I read the book and touched it and appreciated it and put it back in the box. This is someone else's lucky find to keep. Maybe even someone named Devin!

And to Wil, your stories of anxiety and self doubt and not fitting in are so brutally honest, thank you. I hope you finally see that we like you, we really like you!
