[John Candy: A Life in Comedy] is a welcome reminder.” – The Washington Post ""This will be catnip for [John Candy's] fans."" — Publisher's Weekly ""Well-researched [and] fun to read.” — Library Journal “Makes clear Candy’s ample gifts and barely tapped potential.” – The Wall Street Journal “A richly detailed biography that leaves us room to conjure up the actor on our own terms.” – Zoomer Magazine “A deeply moving portrait.” – Literary Review of Canada “A warm, thoughtful, sensitive portrait."" – Winnipeg Free Press ""Myers's touching portrait of a beloved film star is filled with as much joy as any of Candy's scene-stealing roles.” — Shelf Awareness “A genuine story … If you’re looking to offset the bitterness of our times with the taste of life’s sweetness, try a dose of Candy.” — The Literary Review of Canada “An affectionate, uncritical look at the beloved comic’s career.” — Washington Independent Review of Books “A fascinating read.” – The Calgary Herald
