Anthony Hopkins, being, in my opinion, one of the greatest actors, deserves more in a biography than this. The book is basic and tells you information, but in trying to make it unique, the author bores you, confused you, and makes you less interested in reading it.

I read the original biography by Quentin Falk, a showbiz hack and mediocre writer, several years ago and remember it only as a very superficial treatment of a very complex man. This new update contains too much spin control by Hopkins' ex-wife and not enough insight into the man himself (or seemingly input from him) to make it worthwhile. Hopkins is a great actor and a very intriguing man, he deserves a more in-depth analysis of both his work and his persona than Falk can provide.

This is probably one of the most well-written books that I have seen in a long time. The pictures are amazing and the story is wonderful. I have always been a fan of Anthony, and this book is enough to convince anyone. Highly recommended.

This book is simply amazing, a real page turner. You can't stop reading it until the last page and then you're left gagging for more. Anyone who wants to know anything at all about Anthony Hopkins should read this NOW! It's given me real inspiration, and has made me realise I can do anything I want to if I try hard enough. I loved Anthony Hopkins before, but now I love him even more.He's amazing!

It's al between our eyes. And Andy is willing to share his personal experience with human interactions together with the world. He has created several methods to develop a higher quality of life, this book is one of his better works.
