The pursuit of the truth is a goal of this book, but the author is honest that you can't always know. When he can't sort it out, he presents different stories, from different people's memories, and lets the reader sort it out.
It seems you get the warts-and-all look at the brothers, and it's not all attractive.
For example, Groucho is largely blamed for his wives' alcoholism, saying that was their only respite from his verbal abuse. This is at odds with another book on Groucho that I've read, and reviewed, called Groucho: The Life and Times of Julius Henry Marx. Which is the truth? I don't know.
Ultimately, what we should take away from the Marx Brothers is the terrific films - and the not-so-good ones, too - that are their legacy and gift.
