BOB HOPE IS THE BEST
24. Dezember 2001
Format:Taschenbuch
Richard Grudens once again does a teriffic job of writing and displaying a mans life in great fashion. As an avid collector of all music memorabilia and a musician, I am very humbled by this wonderful presentation of Bob Hope. I'm only a 24 year old guy, and in my time I have not seen a single man do so much in a lifetime of all the people I know and know of. I remember all the good Bob Hope did being at the USO shows for our troops and watching the reruns of the Bob Hope and Bing Crosby movies with my dad. My dad is also a huge fan of Bob Hope and all the old timers stuff, so we say(that would be coming from a young person like myself). This book belongs on the library shelves as a reference to Bob Hope. ---- an instant classic ----

Homage to a truly great and enduringly popular comedian
11. Juli 2002
Format:Taschenbuch
Written especially to commemorate Bob Hope's 100th birthday, The Spirit Of Bob Hope is a meaningful and informative biography that ranges from his birth in England, to his youthful career as a professional boxer, to his long and talented journey toward becoming a vaudeville, stage, movie, television icon. Personal testimonies and tributes from fellow celebrities, in their own words, enhance this welcome tribute to a great entertainer and citizen. Over 100 black-and-white photographs illustrate this biographical homage to a truly great and enduringly popular comedian, a true icon of twentieth century American popular culture.

Don't Waste Your Money
6. Dezember 2006
Format:Taschenbuch
I read this book in one sitting, not because it was good, but because there is so little in it. There is no insight to the man, only a smattering of personal details. Did contain a lot of photos and which made it more of a scrapbook than anything else. Nothing new at all.
