Great book full of the ups and downs of Groucho’s life. He writes about childhood in the Marx home, how he was pushed into performing as a career, his loves, his cars, dreams, ambitions, a fellow, let’s call him Delaney. My only complaint would be the printer seems to be doing things on the cheap, the pages have a big empty space around the text, about 3-4 times as much as a normal margin.
