After reading Moe's biography I'm intrigued. The man doing the writing is introspective and revealing. I've found a person that I think I would have liked to have met and hung out with. Not the nit-wit you see in The Three Stooges shorts, but a real caring human being who looked out for his siblings and cared about his friends, and managed to survive in the hard times of the Depression Era and raise a family. Very interesting reading. I found it hard to put it down in order to go to sleep at night. The book has some very good pictures of a long and varied career of the Three Stooges.

I used to own a copy of this book. I loved it. It was stolen by The Room Mate From Hell (TM) around 15 years ago.
So when I had sufficient funds and went looking to replace it, naturally it's out of print.
This is the real, unvarnished story of the joy and laughter, and also the tears and frustration experienced by the brothers Howard, and thier compatriot Larry Fine. From discussions of on-the-set injuries to howlingly funny behind-the-scenes moments, to the touching story of what really happened to Jerome "Curly" Howard while filming "Hoi Polloi", to tales of Moe's own encounters with the fans later in his life - this book tells the tale as it really was, in the eyes of one who lived it. Moses "Moe" Howard (nee Horwitz) died whilst writing this book, but the thread was picked up by his son, who did an able job of finishing it.
I loved these guys. If you ever did, then do whatever you can to get a copy of this book. After having had the opportunity to read it, I discovered I was able to genuinely love them for who they were, and not merely for their on-screen personas.
The touching memoir of one of American filmdom's reatest comic geniuses.

Having been a "Stoogeaphile" for more years that I care to remember, this book was a MUST HAVE (spead out)...!
Moe Howard's commentary over the decades of their comedic reign is second to none, and there are just SO many great photos, both of the boys "on action" and family photos (pick out two)...!
If you're looking for a list of all they did, it won't be in here. This is just the complete STORY of who the 3 Stooges were, both on screen and off (we ALL put the yeast in)...
But make no mistake, this is THE book to have is you want to find out what made the Stooges the comedy trio of all time (soitenly)!
We shall never see their kind again...sadly. They were the best at what they did (slowly I turned...step by step)...!

This is a first hand account of one of the great comedy teams in history- the 3 Stooges. Moe was the leader on and off screeen - mostly by default as Larry, Curly, and Shemp just weren't the leader types.
Knuckleheads will enjoy Moe's account of his brilliant career and there''s lots and lots of pictures so we don't have to read too many words. Just like this review.

This is a good book - one of the better Three Stooges books out there - but it's not a "great" book. For one thing, the editing of this book is deplorable. There are several errors in the captions of the pictures, and two of the captions from pictures of the same short even contradict each other. Secondly, it felt like Moe rushed through some parts of the book. There is hardly anything about the Shemp era - which I found disappointing. I would have liked to read his views on Columbia's small budget that forced them to make remakes as the 50s progressed. But on the positive side, it's a very easy and fun read, with many stories you won't find elsewhere. He sheds light on the end of Larry's life, as well as some personal stories at home in the mid 1940s.
