Rezensionen

"Smart and entertaining."
-The New York Times

"[An] inspirational story of one of Hollywood's most beloved figures who became an unlikely TV screen icon and later a champion for those with dyslexia."
-The Associated Press

"You want to brew him some tea, pat his arm. His tender memoir isn't explicitly dishy. It's an excavation of his challenges, pain and neuroses."
-The Washington Post

"More than anything, Being Henry is the story of a talented actor who, as his wife puts it, can "charm the pants" off of anyone...It's about the struggle to come into oneself after decades of self-alienation, and about perseverance."
-The Daily Beast

"This charming autobiography of personal struggles during times of career success and challenge deserves a big thumbs-up."
-Kirkus

"[A] winning memoir...Though Winkler includes plenty of inside-Hollywood fare, the book's frankness sets it apart from standard-issue actor memoirs. The result is a heartfelt chronicle of learning to love one's self, shortcomings and all."
-Publishers Weekly

"Sharing memorable and funny behind-the-scenes moments, Being
Henry entertains as an introspective, self-deprecating, and quite moving memoir from a versatile actor....The many, many fans Winkler has gathered over his 50 years in Hollywood won't be disappointed by this charming memoir."
-Booklist
