A New Favorite, Dec 4 2008

This review is from: Charlie Chaplin (Paperback)
I was inspired by the two other reviewers, both 16 when they read
this great bio. I discovered Chaplin at an even earlier age - 13,
I think. I wrote an 8th grade term paper on him. Handwritten.
My only other source on Chaplin has been his touching "My Autobiography."
I was thrilled to find McCabe's book - a hard bound 1st edition! - at a
local thrift shop for .50. I'm glued to it. The writing style is charmingly vintage, it's endlessly informative, entertaining, and there
is a previously unknown discovery in each chapter. The author's access
to Stan Laurel was priceless.
But it if you can find it.

It's a great book. John McCabe really covered over Chaplin's life. I also learned a lot of new things about Charlie and it made me an even bigger fan. Oh, by the way, look at me, 16 years old and a fan of Charles Spencer Chaplin, lol. Shows anyone and everyone that age simply doesn't matter.
