I really loved this book. As a long time fan, this book offered a fascinating glimpse into the life of the silent Marx brother. From being literally thrown out of school in the second grade to being a part of the Algonquin Roundtable, Harpo experienced many interesting things and met many interesting people. This biography is a touching look at Harpo's life. I recommend it for fans and those who are new to the Marx brothers.
This book follows the life of Harpo Marx. He has a way of seeing the good, overlooking the bad and riding the waves of his life. I was moved by the man and couldn't help comparing living today with his life. The exploits of the characters in his life were amazing and at times criminal. It was a very good read, with insights into the men who were the Marx Brothers.
Of the 100's of Bio/Autos of golden era Hollywood film legends i have read, including several Marx brothers ones, this is my favorite. Interesting, funny, strange, wacky, but very moving. The last couple hundred pages, after he meets Susan and marries, and the hilarious night time stories to the kids about the search for the children! The way they ran their family home and the closeness, and love they shared was a beautiful story. Not what i was expecting after reading the first couple hundred pages, expecting more shennanigans, but then wham, tricked into a wonderful story of their family life. Great Stuff.
As a Harpo fan, this is one of the best books I have read. Harpo had such a vibrant and amazing life; his off-screen persona was just as interesting and witty as his on-screen one. Well worth reading.
an excellent read. Interesting man, interesting times, and very well told. His co-author nailed Harpo's "voice".
Read it! The book is very funny and the man was very interesting. He is my favorite comedian.
This book is of poor print quality. Font changes size and spacing all over the page. I think that the font itself sometimes changes. I suspect this is a cheap way of making the book smaller that it was formatted to be. Hard to get used to!
