Rating: - Larry The Stooge in the Middle
I was disappointed in this book. Have been a Three Stooges fan for many years but don't claim to be a expert on the subject. Found the book lacked any depth or insight on the person of Larry Fine (Feinberg). What was Larry really like? Did he simply enjoy a wager now and then or did he have a serious gambling addition? What was Moe Feinburg's relationship with his brother like? Toward the end of the book, Moe Feinberg flies out to Califorina to see his brother. He tells us that he hadn't seen ... Read More

Rating: - The Unsung Stooge
Moe Howard often said that Larry was probably the best actor out of all the Stooges. Few can deny Larry was the unsung Stooge who never got much of the spotlight from Moe, Curly, et al. This book, written by Larry's younger brother, traces the natural born entertainer's life from birth until his tragic death. I wouldn't call this hard hitting, as the author was not a professinal writer but a loving brother, thus many of Larry's financial problems due to gambling are glossed over. But I can forgive that. ... Read More
Rating: - My Favorite Stooge
I have been watching the stooges since the late 50's, and have always liked Larry. I enjoyed watching his reactions to different situations. This book is enjoyable and pretty informative to boot. Larrys little brother Morris gives an insiders view of Larry, from early childhood to his untimely death in 74. If you are a stooges fan, then definately get this book, you will not be sorry you did. It is a welcome addition to my stooges library. Quick reading and lots of pictures, plenty of information . A must ... Read More
Rating: - The underappreciated stooge
Written by Larry's slightly younger brother, this book traces the middle stooge from birth, to his passing in 1974. By his late teens, Larry Fine never earned a living as anything but an entertainer. Naturally, the history of the act is covered along the way. Mr. Fineberg is not a professional writer, but can turn a phrase or two. The book serves as an excellent history lesson on the age of vaudeville as well, where the stooges got their start. Mr. Fineberg was very close to his famous brother and therefore ... Read More
