Mildly Interesting, 25 Mar 2007
By asfhgwt - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Here's Morgan (Hardcover)
I met Henry Morgan, back in 1972, at a college symposium. I was unaware of his radio days, but I always found him a witty and interesting TV personality. I volunteered to drive him to the airport after the symposium, and was excited about the prospect of a one-on-one conversation with him, but as we approached my car it became clear that its rear tires had been stolen, and its tail-end rudely propped up on metal milk-cartons. Since this type of thing wasn't an unusual occurrence in my school's urban neighborhood, I matter-of-factly told Mr. Morgan that I'd have to walk him back to campus to find another ride. After he few yards he said with a little guffaw, "You're certainly taking it well."
This is the type of story one finds in this book -- mildly amusing, but nothing spectacular. Many of the (usually brief) tales concern the author's visits to foreign countries. There isn't much name-dropping, unfortunately. No juicy stories of sordid goings-on in the entertainment industry, no details of his sexual liaisons. Additionally, Mr. Morgan's wit and sarcasm makes one wonder at times whether he is being serious or flippant. Still, he had a fairly interesting and serendipitous life, and the book is a quick read.

The Amazing Mr. Henry Morgan, 21 Aug 2010
By Ken Greenwald "Filmmaker man" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Here's Morgan (Hardcover)
If you weren't around when Henry Morgan was "Peck's bad boy" of radio, then you might not understand where Mr. Morgan is coming from in this autobiographical book of his. In 1946 through 1954 he was the talk of the nation because of his hilarious spoofs of his sponsors commercials. Strangely enough, Morgan says little about this portion of his life. Perhaps that is good, though it was one of his most famous periods of time. Still, the story of his life is told by Morgan with great humor and a great deal of "tongue in cheek." Though the book starts with his birth and early childhood, once Morgan reaches adulthood, he skips around to different years telling what he believes are the most interesting and humorous incidents that made up his long stay on planet earth.
The book is an easy read and a fun read. Well worth investing your time and money to find out how this man saw life with his own eyes and experience.

A different take on a autobiography, 10 Mar 2010
By Richard E. Segers - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Here's Morgan (Hardcover)
This book will probably not win any awards for being an autobiography or memoir. However, it is a great example of the wit and satire that was Henry Morgan.
