Finally! After waiting 55+ years, a audiobook, of , “Harppo speaks”. ever sense I saw The TV show “YOU BET YOUR LIFE “ and Harpo came on to give away his book to the contestants, I always wanted to read it, but can never find it. Finally, the book has been resurrected, and is a funny and heartwarming story of the behind-the-scenes of at least one of the Marx brothers.   The reader does a good job at convening Harpo Marx‘s story . Now I just have to wait, and hopefully not another 55 years for Audible to come out with Groucho Marx book, ” speaking of Groucho “

Perhaps because we are so used to seeing Harpo as the clown, it comes as a bit of a surprise to find out what a Renaissance man he was. The depth of his intellect and talent was hidden behind the wig and horn honking antics.

The narrator did a fine job, although I did find his voice somewhat grating.

A fascinating man

Too tired to write much except that I loved every minute of Harpo's autobiography. It was entertaining, deep, and revealed a man who had a tremendous capacity for friendship and for enjoying life.

The narrator was amazing - I can't say enough good things about what a great job he did. Loved it!

Best Autobiography Ever!

The stories related by Harpo were very entertaining and witty. The performance lacked a lot, but the words made it for it.

Excellent autobiography of an interesting person

Harpo speaks is a lot like watching Harpo perform. Funny and silly at times with a harp playing like bit of thoughtfulness and inspiration.

Not a “tell all” about show business or his famous family at all, thank goodness, but a fun, heart warming story of an uncomplicated life lived as well as we all would want it to be. Fan or not this is one of the best star biographies you’ll ever listen to or read.

Johnny Heller does a great job performing it and in his own forward (1st time I’ve heard of this but it’s the right thing to do) explains why he performs it as he does.

Hope this is helpful to y’all and enjoy your day!👍

What a life.
