Great book! And this from another Hope writer!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Gene and Martha have done a superb job capturing the essence of Hope. I wrote for Bob myself and know what he was like on a day-to-day basis and they nailed him. He was a true joy to work for and left all of us with valued memories of experiences we'd otherwise have only dreamed of. Gene and Martha have documented what it was like to work for a legend. My hat's off to them both!
An amazing book on the behind scenes of a Comedy Ledgen.

If you read just one book on Show Business this is the one!! I can't tell you how much I enjoyed the experinece of going behind the scenes with two of Bob Hope's Comedy Writers. Both writers paint a real and exciting picture of a true comedy ledgend. I would also reccomend that anyone interrested in becoming a comedy writer read this book.
Talk about a good book...this one fits the bill!

Want to read a good book?....Talk about Hope is just that. This book gives real insight into the legendary Bob Hope as a performer and a person from two people who really know him -- they both have talked, worked, and traveled with him for many years. It is a humorous & insightful book written in an easy-to-read, conversational style. As you read this book, you will feel like you, too, REALLY know the real Bob Hope.
Good for a few thousand laughs!

Trust me. Read this one. Any fan of Hope, or any fan of comedy, will love the behind-the-scenes stories of being on the road with Hope. How the punch lines came about are as funny as the lines themselves. I bought a copy for my Dad - a BIG Hope fan - with the intention of stealing it back. No such luck. He won't let it go!

"Talk About Hope" is a behind the scenes look into a comedy legend as told by two of Bob Hope's longtime writers. It's written in a conversational style that makes you think the writer's were speaking directly to you. The book is filled with stories that are both funny and give some insights into why Bob Hope has enjoyed longevity as an entertainer. I recommend this book to anyone that likes to laugh and enjoys a good read.
