Interesting ,but didn’t delve into his stories

“Knock Wood” by Candice Bergen is my favorite celebrity autobiography.

Always a fan of Burt Reynolds, I found after reading this book that I actually like the person that lives inside the performer. In the years of Evening Shade I was friendly with Jim and Carole Hampton so attended several filmings of the show. Jimmy and I used to laugh about 1936 being a very good year and I was the middle of the 1936 sandwich—Burt born February 11, me on April 8, and Jimmy on July 9. Having been a professional Cabaret singer (or as Sinatra would say, “saloon singer”) for most of my life I am well aware that the persona going charmingly out across the footlights is often not so charming when the music stops! Knowing this I do not state lightly that as I turned the pages of this book, I came to genuinely admire and like Burt Reynolds the man. I would certainly recommend this book as a good read to anyone. Thank you for sharing your life, I hated to see the book end! ~Ruthann de la Vega

This book was interesting, well written and funny at times. It shows the craziness of the entertainment industry. The good, bad and ugly, but overall timing is everything. Good job Burt!

I thought this book was very good! Being a resident of Jupiter Florida since 1964 I remember a lot of what was written. My brother, Gareth Williams was part of the first group of apprentices at the Burt Reynolds Dinner Theater and has been an actor ever since!

I've always been a fan of Burt Reynolds movies, but after reading this book, I am now a fan of Burt Reynolds, the man. Very interesting and well lived life. Very honest and not pretentious as I expected.

I have read three other autobiographies by actors and this is one of the best. Really feel like Reynolds was real in the book and even if you are not a Reynolds fan you lean a lot about him and to stories he shares are classics.

Always a fan and enjoyed the interesting background of Burt Reynolds' career. Thanks for the memories!

I truly enjoyed reading this book. Thank you Burt for sharing your memories with us. A nice read, Burt takes us through his career and his relationships with those that he knew

What a refreshing change from most biographies!! True, down to earth, honest, heartbreaking, and funny! Always liked Burt Reynolds. Love him even more now. Thank you Burt, for sharing your story. I simply loved it!!!
