"Thanks to Star Trek and his political activism, George Takei is known for taking a stand. But this book, about his decision to come out at the age of 68… proves there is more to learn about him." — The New York Times
"This invigorating autobiography effortlessly mixes inspiration with insight." — Publishers Weekly
"A heartwarming journey that, yes, goes boldly where few men have gone before." — Kirkus Reviews
"The outstanding graphic autobiography of a principled man who became a cultural icon because of his passion for improving the world for others." — Foreword Reviews
"It’s more than a biography; this book also helps readers understand what it was like to be gay for most of the 20th century and why it’s important to know." — The Washington Blade
"Well-paced, thoughtful, and beautifully illustrated by Harmony Becker, It Rhymes With Takei offers a bittersweet perspective on the highs and lows of life as a gay Asian American in modern American history. I felt grateful for the historic context on our current moment. I wish it weren’t so relevant and important right now, but once again, Takei has shown up for us when we really need him." — The Geekiary
