I read this book in the Library, and it was wonderful! It told about all the shows she did, her movies, her husband, Desi, her children, Lucie and Desi Jr., and told about her life. It was a sensational book, and ment a lot to me. I love Lucille Ball! In Fact, If I could, I would make it be that ciggarettes weren't invented, because if they hadn't been, maybe she would still be alive!. This book is the basic "learn all in a few minutes" book! It's very short, and sweet!

On screen, Lucy Ball was one of the funniest women America had ever seen--but off screen, life wasn't always a comedy. This biography is enough to tell you that, and tells about some perticularlly important I LOVE LUCY episodes. But the text is dry and not lively and detialed. While it is a nice book to read for beginning readers who love the Recardos, it is not detialed, and focuses more on Lucy's acting career than her personal life. If you want a good biography, try "Love Lucy", Lucy's autobiography. While it was written a few years before her death, it won't have close-to-end-of-life information, but it will be a whole lot more detialed.

I joined the I Love Lucy Fan Club and this book was recommended. I liked how this book was short, and easy to read, but had a lot of good information about Lucys life. Her life wasn't always easy, but she made the best of it and really made a splash on television.I admire her a lot and I liked this book.

I liked this book because it was full of interesting facts about Lucy's life. I didn't know that much about her before I read the book, but when I did, I liked her a whole lot because she seemed like a real person.

MAYBE YOU SHOULD JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER, BECAUSE THIS BOOK HAS A GREAT COVER AND ITS A GOOD BOOK. I WOULD HAVE READ IT EVEN IF I HADN'T HAD TO READ IT FOR A SCHOOL PAPER. I'M A FAN OF LUCILE BALL AND NOW I WATCH "I LOVE LUCY" AS MUCH AS I CAN, BECAUSE OF THIS BOOK.THANKS.

This is a flat, dry, boring biography of Lucille Ball. Try another bio instead!
