Although I loved the Marx brothers, their movies, and "You Bet Your Life".... I wasn't thrilled with this book.

Not only was much of it redundant, but it was very confusing to read. There were many photos, but the captions were not usually with the photo but on another page & not all were numbered to correspond with the matching photo.

The writing was split into two columns w/ numbers at the beginning of each subject (?), but with different (non-sequential) numbers of the quotes on the same pages... It made no sense.

The Introduction & prologue were long & didn't make much sense as to why they were there... and the fact that Groucho actually had to get permission to quote himself & conversations he had w/ other people, from his other books & from the movie companies was strange.

I liked the photos, but could not tolerate the text... It wasn't in sequence, more like a random compilation of memories.

I'll say that the brothers were talented and funny, but still the book made no sense to me. ( )
