Welltimmy_l Yes. For the love of all that’s Lassie, yes, it is.

Timmy in the Well was so much fun to read. The public had no idea what life was life for these child actors and how the were taken advantage of by the Hollywood moguls.

I saw Jon at a book signing and he was a gentleman, upbeat and charming as Timmy ever was.

I was hoping Jon Provost would be appearing with Lassie 10 in Maryland at the Pet Expo this past weekend. But I got to see Lassie anyway! The new Lassie is absolutely gorgeous!

Yes, it´s definitely the best autobiography I ever read!It really gives you the whole insight to a world totally unknown for us on the "outside"!You think it´s all glamorous and joyous being a child star there in Hollywood!No wonder many child stars have vanished both physically and mentally when childhood stardom is over, not being able to adapt to ordinary life! "Timmy" did though even if it was hard!

The book "Timmy`s in the Well" is a wonderful gift for all fans of Jon Provost and "Lassie".The lifestory, written by the popular actor of "Timmy Martin" and his wife Laurie Jacobson,gives an impressive insight of the experiences who Jon Provost had as a childstar and their negative accompaniments for his family and his own life.It`s a honesty autobiography, really worth to read.

Every parent considering a show business career for their child should read this book.

There can be no contest that this is the winner- unless of course we start a list of titles for biographies we'd love to see in print...
