Kimberlyn recommends the hoopla e-audiobook of The Boys by Ron and Clint Howard (also available on Libby). Whether you prefer physical or digital books, text or audio, we have you covered. You can also find the e-book on both Libby and hoopla. The print book and book on CD formats are also available in our physical collections at CPL.
Summary
As children and young adults, the Howard brothers captivated millions of television viewers in the 1960s and 1970s. In their memoir, award-winning filmmaker Ron Howard joins audience-favorite actor Clint Howard as they frankly and fondly share their unusual family story of navigating and surviving life as sibling child actors.
She recommends it because...
Kimberlyn has known the Howard brothers in some form or another for most of her life. She knew Ron as Opie on the Andy Griffith Show or Richie on Happy Days, and Clint from Gentle Ben. She admits she doesn’t often listen to audiobooks, preferring to read the text, but she liked hearing the familiar voices of the Howard brothers as they shared their story.
Who might enjoy it?
Kimberlyn recommends this e-audiobook for fans of classic mid-century TV. If the Andy Griffith Show or Gentle Ben were part of your childhood, even in syndication, you may enjoy the nostalgia kick that comes from hearing stories from these former child actors. The Boys may also appeal to fans of celebrity memoirs and stories about working in the entertainment industry.
