Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal
Falk offers a solid biography of Welsh actor Hopkins. Hopkins agreed to cooperate fully with Falk in forging this account with only two provisos: that Falk not interview his first wife and as much as possible respect the deliberate anonymity of the self-help group for alcoholics to which Hopkins has devoted so much time. Falk is wise enough to let his subject speak for himself. The result is a highly enjoyable and entertaining book, but if you're looking for an in-depth evaluation of the actor's craft or life, look elsewhere. Libraries will probably find the public's interest in Hopkins high following his Oscar-winning performance in Silence of the Lambs and his current success in The Remains of the Day and Shadowlands. An excellent popular biography for public libraries.

2.0 out of 5 stars Light-weight biography of an acting heavyweight, July 4, 2000
By A Customer
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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Hopkins deserves more, August 4, 1999
By A Customer
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Could not put it down!, February 11, 2000
By J. Williams (Nashville, TN USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.
