Lucy

Lucy, a simple title, a not so simple life for Lucille Ball. Very well done, the book takes you through the birth through death life journey of Lucy. To my surprise Lucy didn't get an easy start to her acting career. Known for her number one show "I Love Lucy" Lucy and her husband Desi start the show with a great start and a great end. There's more to Lucy's then what you've seen on TV. She went through a head to head war with broadcasting companies and moviemakers. Also starring in her famous radio show "My Favorite Husband", she fell into her career show "I Love Lucy", and accomplished a great deal in her life. This book lets you know what happened from head to toe, Birth to death and is very well done. You don't miss out on a thing, it's like you walked with Lucy through it all. Written so that you can picture the words and events in your head, the book is well written. Even though at some points in time you get lost and lose track of where the heck the book is trying to get at you catch back on rather quickly. There were some foul langue every once in a while but you know the old days right. This book is on Lucy's heels every step of the way that you'd know if she got a scratch from anything. My over all opinion of the book is that it was well done and I'm not just saying that, I mean it. At first it would take Lucy like two seconds to get into her career of acting, wrong more like two decades. It changed my visual opinion about Lucy completely. I still watch her show and it just cracks me up I like the book, but I will always love Lucy. To my recommendation I would consider this book to anyone who likes Lucille Ball. Also to anyone who life a humors life of someone. Giving this book three stars of my approval because at some points you want to keep going at others you don't.

My aunt bought this book in 1970's and I found it in the bookshelf in my house in 1994. Although it was quite old and dusty, I enjoyed the book. Cheers to all Lucille Fans
