Bronx to Broadway: A Life in Show Business (Applause Books) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I count it as one of my great priviledges to know Hal and Dorothy Thau and call them my friends.As an Aspen, CO resident and life long John Denver fan, Hal and Dorothy have brought joy to my life.His book is inspiring and genuine and tells the all American rags to riches story.I would recommend this to everyone.Hal was JD's personal manager for more then 35 years.There is something to be said for his character in that alone, especially in the "what have you done for me lately" Hollywood etc. scene.Hal is the real deal and so is his book.My best to you my friend.

Keaton: The Man Who Wouldn't Lie Down (Limelight) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have read and own many books on Buster Keaton.This is the worst I have seen.Many "facts" are in error (such as who starred in The Buster Keaton Story, etc.) and that casts suspicion on everything else.Since I already knew a great deal about Keaton, this book offended me in what it got wrong.Make sure this is not the ONLY reference you read of The Great Stone Face, it's pretty much junk.

Product Description:
"...the definitive life. I don't think it will ever be superseded ... It is scholarly yet readable, the fullest, most objective and factually detailed book on virtually every aspect of Buster's career and personality: artistic, financial, and pyschological ... full of the most interesting (and surprising) information." - Dwight MacDonald, The New York Review of Books"A candid yet compassionate account of Keaton's turbulent personal life...reveals the roots of his humanity ... his pessimism ... [his] superb spirit of comic gloom ..." - Boston Globe
