Negative Positive
Title: Bogus but amusing
Review: After reading a couple of chapters, I was mystified. Fictionalized biographies can be interesting, but anyone who knows anything about the Stooges would realize this book was totally nuts. Curly's from a wealthy Italian Catholic family from Georgia? He doesn't have any brothers, just sisters? So I came to read the reviews, and they are hilarious! That's why I give 2 stars, not for the book (-3 stars, poorly written & edited. Marriage vows are "scared"?), but the reviews (5 stars).Many of the reviews do an excellent job pointing out the nonsense, but it also amusing to see that some people actually think Curly's real name was Larry Fine. (So who was Larry? Shemp?) Or that Curly wrote the Godfather, or knew about the JFK and RFK assassinations.The page [...] says that the book is actually a fictionalized account of Frank Sinatra, and that they changed to a story about Curly to avoid getting sued. (Apparently, it's better to get the Stooge people mad at you than the Sinatra people.)
Is the review positive or negative?
