The Good Neighbor, by Maxwell King

Borrowed audiobook from my local library. It's very strange to hear LeVar Burton talking about people and places I have known my whole life—Latrobe, Pa., Saint Vincent Archabbey and College, Ligonier, Pa., Pittsburgh, Pa. I quit this book about halfway through. I'm not sure if it was LeVar Burton's performance or the tremendous number of superlatives and repeated information that I couldn't stomach. Yes, I get that Fred Rogers was a unique, smart, kind, and rich man whose life seemed to be charmed. This book was just over the top. I did learn some interesting facts about him that I didn't know before, but I think I'll look elsewhere for the rest of the story behind the man.
