5.0 out of 5 stars Another Warm, Cozy Read, July 17, 2001

By	Herbert Boomhower (Chesapeake, VA USA) - See all my reviews

I have the good fortune of having had Charmian Carr autograph my book for me and it's well worth having, as is the book itself. Many of the letters in this book are charming and thoughtful and the narrative by Miss Carr is just as gentle and loving as her first book. These two books should prove that there is a market out there for books that tell charming stories and entertain readers at the same time. Charmian Carr obviously has no axe to grind regarding her "Sound of Music" experiences and I found it extremely touching that all seven actors who played the Von Trapp children keep in pretty close contact with each other. I highly recommend this book and am secretly hoping that Miss Carr has enough anecdotes and memories to fill a third book. Do we dare hope?

5.0 out of 5 stars A delightful book!, July 6, 2002

By	Rosella Ann Myles (Wheeling, West Virginia United States) - See all my reviews

Charmian Carr has written a delightful book about her
being Liesl in, "The Sound of Music." The notes from her fans are very enjoyable to read and heart-warming, how they were so touched by the film. Jean Strauss is also an author of it as well. It's a delightful book, full of interesting letters, and stories. Also it has many lovely photos, of then and now. I highly recommend it. It is great fr anyone, whom really enjoyed the fim, "The Sound of Music."

5.0 out of 5 stars The Hills are STILL alive !!!, July 4, 2009

By	Stepaken "SAT" (Las Vegas, NV) - See all my reviews

The continuing saga of a very good film, of a very good play, done by a team of very gifted people. The only dark side of the entire story of the Sound of Music was provided by the specter of Adolph Hitler. And no one, who lived through the mid-twentieth century, went untouched in some way by him. The effect of the "Sound of Music" on the lives it touched was quite the opposite. A very endearing epilog, and well worth reading, done by an "insider." To anyone who loved the books ("The Story of the Trapp Family Singers" and "Forever Liesl"), the musical-play, or the motion picture, I highly recommend it.
