No current Talk conversations about this book. pretty interesting story of desi and lucy. they were both never as successful. reading interrupted while i was in nyc. ( ) I was disappointed in this book. I like Lucille Ball; I remember when she was accused of being "red" probably in 1952-53. She was a great comedienne. If only this book were as great as she. There is too much detail about every movie she was in-most of them minor movies. It only gets interesting once we get to the I LOVE LUCY show. Others seem to like it more than I. You will have to decide for yourself. It is well written if you can slog through the details. no reviews | add a review
