I agree with the other reviewer on ONE point. I enjoyed this book because I liked learning about the life of Lucille Ball...but I also enjoyed learning about Desi. Desi DID treat Lucy right, and like he said, there was never a person he loved more than he did Lucy. At what point did anyone see Lucy come out with a black eye on screen? Can't answer that? That's because she never DID! Desi was always good to Lucy and they loved eachother, and this book tells about their love for eachother. (Although NO book could EVER capsize the love they felt for eachother...NEVER! )

I am a major fan of this show as well as a fan of Lucy and Desi.
Made me sad to know that they had so many troubles at home (desi cheating, drunk all the time and they fought alot) But what I do love is that no matter what happened to them on and off screen, they loved each other till the day they both died. Desi was a genious and he made TV History by doing what he did at Delilu. I also loved hearing about the show itself and stories about Fred and Ethel and how they were on screen.
I love lucy is my favorite all time favorite show and always will be. To this day, it makes me laugh even though I have seen every episode a million times.

Very good book...so hard to believe how their life really was...you see the Tv show and think..wow..they really are in love...but quite a different story in reality. It is heartbreaking. Wish their real life could of been the same as their Tv life. If you are a fan the book will upset you...but reality is reality.

This book kept my interest and was a very complete biography of their lives. I couldn't put it down. I would recommend it.

Lucy was born in 1911 and had a brother named Fred When Lucy was 15 she took a job at walgreens.She lost her job because she forgot to put the bananas on the banana splits.I didn;t like the book because her husband did not treat her that well.I enjoyed the book because I think it was very interesting to know about her life.
