5.0 out of 5 stars Good insight into the life of a highly talented comedian., June 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Curly: An Illustrated Biography of the Superstooge (Paperback)

Joan Howard Maurer gives the reader a very in-depth look into the life of her famous uncle. Curly's brilliance as a comedian is evident in her well-written biography. She also does quite well at showing that Curly was a shy, private person when "off-camera". A great book for anyone who loves the Stooges!

This review is from: Curly: An Illustrated Biography of the Superstooge (Paperback)

I just read this book, and while it does give alot of good information about Curly, it is very sad about his life. Some of the people say some kind things about him, while others, including his ex wife and a couple of others, just bash him. He was a very shy, very to himself person and to some people that meant he was a mean person. I do recommend it to anyone who loves Curly as much as I do, but be warned, there are some pretty mean things said about him and some things you would of had no idea about his life. But all in all he was a brilliant genius in what he did no matter what anyone says about him.

Curly Bio : Factual, Wonderful Rare photos not seen elsewhere.

Despite Heinous, ill placed, "Illustrations" within, we are forced to buy this book
only because we love Curly.

Now I remember why i did not buy this volume new, at Kroch and Brentano in 1980...

Buy it because you love Jerome Horowitz, Moe and Shemp's baby brother.
The photos, again, are precious.

Buy it despite the less than amateur book design and illustrations.... which are
as distracting as Muddy Combat Boots on a new bride.
