Book Reviews of Have Tux, Will Travel: Bob Hope's Own Story

Book Review: It's only for the Americans
Summary: 2 Stars

A big disappointment. The jokes are not that good and when everything is made humorous it gets banal. Bob Hope may have been nonneurotic and optimistic, but too much is too much. I admit I enjoyed his Paleface films, but perhaps he must be heard and seen in order to appreciate his jokes. I have almost read Buster Keaton's memoirs and these I really enjoyed. I like visual, not verbal humor; that may be the reason I do not care the Hope humor. Of course, much of the humour of Hope is directed to American political affairs - or political persons, because Hope nearly never takes stands in politics. He is not cruel, which is a good thing.
