I bought this book to get more informations about Curly's life after he had to leave the 3 Stooges because of his illnes. The story in this book doesn't match all the other books written about the Stooges. There are almost no dates mentioned when these unbeliveable things could have happend. Even Curly's brothers Moe and Shemp are not mentioned in this book. The book says Curly died of cancer in 1975. Hey, you can see in his late 1946/47 films how ill he was. I think this book is a big fake and I don't belive anything beginning from page one. If you are a real Stooge fan - buy any of the other books!

I read everything I can about the Stooges and even though this book does not discuss the Stooges as a whole, it certainly gave insight into Curly's real life adventures! Besides the Stooges I have always been intrigued with the underworld. This book covered that as well. I thought the book was well written and covered the part of Curly's life I am sure all Stooge fans will want to know about. In everything I have ever read, the annulled marriage was mentioned, almost like an afterthought. It wasn't until recently on one of the Stooge Webs that there was a mention of who she was. I kind of feel that the other Stooge heirs put that on to cover this. It didn't work for me becaue this book is too believable, and always before nobody knew anything about the marriage. I have also noticed the years, dates, don't match in all the other reports about the Stooges. I noticed that several years ago. Curly was always my favorite and I guess I just seem to clue in more on the things about him. Some books say he was born in 1897 and some in 1903. I think there is a big coverup going on somewhere and this book seems to offer the best explanation. It will be interesting to see what happens with this one. I suggest all Stooge fans, especially Curly fans read this one.

My wife told me I would like this book and I didn't believe it. She has always been a fan of the Three Stooges and I haven't. My mother never would let me watch them because they were too violent and had a disclaimer telling kids not to try what they did. I figured if I couldn't poke my little sister's eyes out and bop my younger brothers on the head what good were they! Anyway, they didn't appeal to my mother! I let my wife talk me into reading this book and was pleasantly surprised by it. I have always been a fan of mob stories and this was quite well written (for a girl...sorry Grace!). I think it would make a great movie and hope to see it on the screen someday. I even gave it to my boss to read and now his wife is reading it. We are having them over for dinner this weekend and plan to have a round table discussion about it.

As an avid Stooge fan I always believed that several of the Stooges were brothers. I was rather shocked to find that I had been deceived all these years! Recently there was a movie marathon with the Godfather showing several times. I certainly viewed that movie differently after having read this book. I can see how Curly could have given this information to Puzo, he was in the position to know all the people involved. I hope there will be more written about the incidents in this book. I really enjoyed this book, as did my boyfriend. It is the kind of book both men and women would like.

I am a librarian and I read many many books. I read all the Oprah books and others as well. I bought this book and placed it in our library a few weeks ago, I read it before shelving it. I have recommended it to others and we all feel the same about it. It is a winner. I enjoy books about real people, and I feel this book really describes how some famous and important people just cast their children aside, for whatever reason! This child in the book is so lovable and her mother was so love striken, or maybe love starved that she allowed herself to fall for this Stooge! I really am serious when I say it deserves a glance from Oprah. The little girl in the book who is now a grown woman and the author of the book would be perfect guests on the show. I would really enjoy that one!
