Summary: Pure Unadulterated Fantasy
Comment: This book had so many factual errors in it, I can't figure out how anybody can believe it. First, the author say's that "Curly" said he was once billed as Larry Fine? There was only one Larry and only one Curly and they weren't the same person. The author doesn't use a lot of dates, in my opinion to make it harder to dispute what is written. However, in part of the book she talks about the daughter being an underage stripper in 1967, and the later writes that the daughter met Walt Disney at a party. How could the daughter meet Disney in 1967 or later, when old Uncle Walt died in 1966? Are we to believe that Walt faked his death also? And why would the leader of the free world (John Kennedy) visit a rundown neighborhood just a few day's before his death? Another error that seemed glaring to me is that all the history books say Curly Howard died in 1952, however in this book, on 2 different occasions, the supposed Curly say's :Hollywood has had me dead since the late 50's or early 60's." If this were the real Curly, wouldn't he know when his supposed fake death occured? I could also touch on Hoover and the Godfather claims, but it's just more erroneous facts. A good read for those who are into conspiracy theories, but truly no help to those who are looking for a true biography on the real Curly Howard.

Summary: What a Joke!!!!!
Comment: Curly is portrayed as a wife beater, a mafia kingpin and even tied into the White House and Vince Foster. Please give me a break!! He could barely walk or speak in the early 50's. What's next?? Was he an alien from Mars? I hope the author and publisher went broke publishing this rag. Looking forward to part II. "Curly and Elvis make new hit records"
