Bob Hope is America
"Have Tux, Will Travel" is an easy-going journey into Bob's life and what entertainment was like in the vaudeville and early radio days. Being written in the early 50's, it has a genuine feel about it and it's easy to hear Hope's words in each story. Being a native Clevelander, it was especially entertaining. If you're a fan,...

A few good old Hope jokes -- otherwise, a joke
You'll find out a very little about the life and times of Bob Hope in this book. (For one thing, it was written decades before he died!)

This book cracked me up from page 1 to the final chapter. Great story behind a great man. I always enjoy reading about Bob Hope. He gave so much of himself in everything he did. His family can be proud. America sure is! Thanks for the memories, Bob!

A big disappointment. The jokes are not that good and when everything is made humorous it gets banal. Bob Hope may have been nonneurotic and optimistic, but too much is too much. I admit I enjoyed his Paleface films, but perhaps he must be heard and seen in order to appreciate his jokes. I have almost read Buster Keaton's memoirs and these I really enjoyed. I like visual, not verbal humor; that may be the reason I do not care the Hope humor. Of course, much of the humour of Hope is directed to American political affairs - or political persons, because Hope nearly never takes stands in politics. He is not cruel, which is a good thing.
