Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“This is a riotous story which is reasonably mad and as accurate as a Marx brother can make it. Highly recommended.” —Library Journal
“This is a racy autobiography by the mute Marx Brother with the rolling eyes, oversized pants and red wig who could send a glissando reeling over his harp…It is enjoyable reading and polished writing.” —Kirkus Reviews
“In the foreword of this audiobook Johnny Heller…refers to the voice he created as ‘1930s East Side’ and resembling that of Harpo’s brother Groucho…A nostalgic fondness creeps into Heller’s voice as Harpo recalls how his act grew out of pranks. Heller skillfully re-creates the famous ‘Alphabet’ sketch as Harpo recalls his road days. The production is mostly clean, but Harpo shares two carefully worded sexual anecdotes about brothels.” —AudioFile
