100 Years, 100 Stories/Love, Groucho

  • Book Rating: 4/5

A delight from beginning to end. Frank Ferrante is convincing as Groucho, and the book provides valuable insight into the character of this fascinating man. John Byner doesn't try to imitate George Burns, but the material is pure gold; many of Burns' showbiz stories had me laughing out loud.
