If you're looking for a memoir chronicling a harrowing journey from fat to fantastic--this ain't it.  The title and cover blurb only relate to a minor part  of the book; but it does get the reader to open the book and that's where the adventure begins!
 
Michael Boyd--choreographer, director, actor, dancer--has opened his heart and with rare, raw honesty, given the reader a glimpse of his extraordinary life in his quest to be an actor. FOREVER THE FAT KID is the quintessential minimalistic memoir.  With Mr. Boyd, less truly is more.  The reader will laugh, cry and sigh over the life lessons the author shares--life lessons of which everyone can relate.  However, it's Boyd's pure flair, exotic elan and joi de vivre that holds the reader captivated. Family members and friends come to life as vividly as the characters in his Broadway plays; dialogue is as exquisitely choreographed as his musicals; and the plot rivals that of any riveting bestseller at the top of the New York Times list.
 
FOREVER THE FAT KID is a literary treat readers will savor for years to come.  Congratulations, Michael Boyd, for a job well done and a life well lived...and your unselfishness in sharing it with us.
