What does lassie.net think of the new Jon Provost book, "Timmy's in the Well"? Thumbs up or down?

Fans of Jon and his years on Lassie will probably want to add this book to their collection. Not a "Lassie" book, this is a book focused on Jon's early life, his childhood and the challenges and sacrifices of being a child star, as well as the rewards, the effect on their families and the exploitation of child stars. Many other well known child stars contribute their memories of working and growing up with Jon, and their own experiences as child stars. The book follows Jon making his transition through the teenage years, and to adulthood outside the spotlight, a transition many child actors never survive. There are many wonderful photos throughout, some rare, but they are difficult to see with any clarity because they are so small and placed in the margins.
