From AudioFile

It's not hard to see why George Burns is considered one of the greatest comedians in American history. In 100 Years, 100 Stories fans can get a glimpse of Burns's past in vaudeville, radio, film and the dawning age of television. This audiobook has laugh-out-loud storytelling expertly performed by John Byner. His impressions of Burns's cast of characters (such as W.C. Fields, Sammy Davis, Jr., and Groucho Marx) add tremendous flavor to Burns's already hysterical yarns. Also deeply touching are Milton Berle's musings about the comedian. The entire package is a grand testimony to the joy of humor that George Burns thrived on throughout his century of life. R.A.P.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious!!, July 31, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: George Burns: 100 Years, 100 Stories (Audio Cassette)

I bought this book with the intention of reading one or two stories a day. I couldn't put it down. I was laughing out loud and my children begged me to read them what was so funny. I would read them some and they enjoyed it as much as I did. What started out as a month or so of giggles turned into an afternoon of belly-laughs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun ancedotes written by Mr. Burns himself, August 18, 2007

By	Pool Enthusiast (I am on the front porch reading The New York Times.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 100 Years 100 Stories (Hardcover)

It seems that no matter what he writes about, from the introduction about getting older to his nurse readjusting his toupee, he does it so very well with humor. (I did not even know that he wore a toupee!)

These are really short one to two page stories of incidents that had occurred during his lifetime. It may or may not have you laughing out loud. It will at the very least, bring a smile to your face.

2.0 out of 5 stars Buy the paper book, December 10, 2008

This review is from: George Burns: 100 Years, 100 Stories (Audio Cassette)

No where near the full 100 stories and its just not the same with out Georges own voice. Buy the paper copy and hear George in your mind.
