Title: I hated for it to end!
Review: I was inspired to purchase "Harpo Speaks" after watching his appearance on I Love Lucy. Boy was I in for a treat. From the first sentence to the last he had my attention. I'm not an avid reader, yet every day I found myself looking forward to spending some time with Harpo. He had the most amazing life for someone who grew up poor and started making money selling junk at pawn shops and playing piano in a brothel. My favorite stories were his adventures with (and in spite of) Aleck Woollcott, living at the Garden of Allah and falling in love with Susan Fleming. When I hit the last few chapters I found myself dreading the ending, having to say goodbye to Harpo. His life was so colorful and rich, but the way the book is written you feel like you're hearing it from a friend. It's a shame that there aren't any good recordings of his voice ~ he surely had one!
