A Fun Read,
By
This review is from: Gilligan, Maynard & Me (Paperback)
I grew up watching Gilligan's Island, but now that I'm well into my 30s, I have a new appreciation for it. This book was very easy-to-read and entertaining. Bob Denver has a very affable writing style--you feel almost like he's sitting and having a conversation with you. I wish that he had included more about his personal life, but that was his choice, and I respect it. Since his two most famous characters, Gilligan and Maynard G. Krebs, were not exactly brilliant, some people may be surprised to discover that Bob Denver is the exact opposite--he's very confident, intelligent, and well-read. This shows through in his book, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who loves Gilligan, Maynard, or both.

Gilligan's Inside Look At Gilligan's Island,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Gilligan, Maynard & Me (Paperback)
I loved Gilligan's Island when it was running becouse it was light hearted and everyone on the island was upbeat and opptimistic, but I often wondered what life was like behind the set. Bob Denver gives a pretty insightful portrayal of the actors and their relations with one another.
Another great book on Gilligan's Island was one written by Russell Johnson titled "Here On Gilligan's Isle". It is an absolute essential read for anyone interested in the T.V. series. I bought both from Amazon.com

"Thanks a lot, Gilligan !",
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Gilligan, Maynard & Me (Paperback)
A well written, straightforward account of Bob Denver's experience as the characters Maynard G. Krebs (Dobie Gillis) and Willy Gilligan (Gilligan's Island). Many inciteful, behind-the-scene stories of both shows as well as his relationships with many of his costars and other celebrities. A must read for fans of either show. Let's hope Gilligan is resting comfortably on that "great deserted island in the sky" !
