Library Journal, the trade publication for librarians in the United States, gives an unquaklified “thumbs up” to Burt Kearns’s new book, Shemp: The Biography of The Three Stooges’ Shemp Howard, The Face of Film Comedy. The review by Carolyn M. Mulac states that "Kearns (Marlon Brando: Hollywood Rebel) mined a variety of sources, including books, magazines, online material, and audio and video, to craft a complete portrait of a talented character actor who appeared in more than 100 movie shorts and features... all documented in an extensive filmography. Kearns and others quoted within contend that Shemp has never received the recognition he deserved for his entire body of work.”
The verdict? "Fans will ‘soitenly’ enjoy this entertaining and detailed look at Shemp’s career with and without the Three Stooges."
