Kurzbeschreibung
The most illustrious men and women of the past would have much to teach us if only, by some miracle of time travel, we could borrow an hour or so of their time - and get them to tell us just what it was that really mattered to them, what really made a difference in their lives, and what their strongest beliefs were. The imaginative and exciting new "Coffee with..." series from DBP enables us to do just that. A relaxed chat with Ernest Hemingway, Marilyn Monroe, or Plato, turns out to be highly informative and highly enjoyable ...and we can even ask questions. If only all great men and women were so generous with their time!

PseudoGroucho
28. August 2008
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
The idea of this book is good: a conversation with Groucho Marx that covers his life and work. The mini-biography is very well done, and the remarks attributed to Groucho have an authentic ring, especially because many of them were actually said, or written, by him. It's not as funny as I expected it to be, which is why I only gave it four stars. The book is short enough that it can be read in one sitting, so it is a relatively entertaining way to spend a few hours with one of the funniest men of the 20th century.

Disappointing book
4. Oktober 2007
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This book was disappointing for two reasons: First, it is tiresome and not funny. It takes some well-known Groucho quotes and weaves them into an imagined interview between the author and Groucho. The second reason for the disappointment is that the author, Simon Louvish, has written an excellent appreciation of the Marx Brothers called Monkey Business: The Lives and Legends of the Marx Brothers. I'd highly recommend the latter book and skip this one. Just my opinion, but people who try to write in Groucho's voice don't often do a good job of it.

Fun, breezy biography
21. März 2008
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Do you have an hour to spend just reading for fun? Do you like the Marx brothers and prefer smiling to sighing? Are you ready to laugh out loud at classic quips?
If so, this breezy "Coffee with Groucho" should satisfy. As a casual movie fan, I recalled a few funny scenes and learned some backstage stories. I recognized several quotes, and they still made me smile. Part biography, part entertainment history, and part silly, this light book requires disrespect and a flippant attitude. I liked it. You probably will too.
This book, however, should not be mistaken for a scholarly analysis of the Marx brothers, vaudeville, politics in Hollywood, or any other such grand project. It's just a simple, fun book filled with clever non-sense.
