Book Reviews

"This book is a wondrously researched, beautifully told life story of Edgar Kennedy, the beloved comedian"
Edward Watz - author of Wheeler & Woolsey-The Vaudeville Comic Duo and Their Films.

"This book is a labor of love that never loses its keen insight into the philosophy of a favorite comedian who also happened to be a very nice guy in private life."
Ibid

"Cassara has written an exhaustive biography, Edgar Kennedy: Master of the Slow Burn, I never suspected that anyone would have been able to build a full-fledged, well-rounded biography of Kennedy so many years after his death."
Leonard Maltin's Movie Crazy

"(Cassara) used his work experience to follow leads and hunt for information in every conceivable nook and cranny. Any would-biographer would benefit from having someone as diligent as Cassara to ferret out information."
Ibid

"Magnificient…Cassara writes a warm and loving salute to this truly nice gentleman, of his work and affection people had for him-I highly recommend this book!"
Shorty Caruso - Edgar Kennedy fan.

"Tom Kennedy isn't Edgar's brother? Great. The next thing you'll tell me is Edgar wasn't John F. Kennedy's uncle."
Jack Taylor - Grand Sheik of the "Beau Hunks" tent of Seattle

"Every Laurel and Hardy fan should have this book in their library."
Leo Brooks - author of The Laurel & Hardy Stock Company
