review 1: I absolutely loved this book. It has a bit of everything - fascinating glimpses into the life of her father and his career, her growing-up years, her life as an actress, and some good interviews with well-known comedians. She even throws in some actual jokes - and most made me laugh out loud. This book had me both laughing and crying. I felt that I was right along with her as she described some of her life events. Although there were poignant moments, the funny ones far outnumbered those, and I loved the way I felt when I finished reading it. This - for me - is one of those books that you don't want to end.
review 2: Fun and light, to some degree a coming of age memoir. Especially enjoyed Marlo's description of her growing up years with her Dad Danny Tho... moremas and some of the old comedians such as Jack Benny, Milton Berle, George Burns, etc. She also interviews some of the contemporary comedians such as Jon Stewart, Jerry Seinfeld, Whoopi Goldberg, Joan Rivers, etc. First book I checked out of the library on e-books! less
