  • desilu

    VERY INTERESTING BOOK ABOUT LUCY AND DESI. INFORMATION ABOUT THEIR LIVES I'D NEVER READ BEFORE. A LITTLE TOO MUCH INFO ABOUT THE CORPORATIONS THEY CONTROLLED, BUT IN GENERAL, I REALLY ENJOYED LEARNING MORE ABOUT A FAMOUS, ENTERTAINING COUPLE.

    The book was good but boring and long. It went into the finances of desilu and that just confused and did not interest me. But the history between Lucy and Desi was quite intetesting
