Book Reviews of Forever Liesl: A Memoir of The Sound of Music

Book Review: A Good Look at the Sound of Music
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a very good book for people who want to know what it was like to make Rodgers and Hammerstein's The Sound of Music.

Charmain Carr gives the reader information about what it was like to make this increadable movie and gives information about what it was like to work with people like Julie Andrews and the six other "Von Trapp" children.

The story is also about Charmain Carr's life. She goes into her childhood as Charmain Farnon in Chicago the middle daughter of a musician and an actress, the move when she was 10 to California and the divorce of her parents a few years later. Charmain then goes into how she got the roll of Liesl and how the producers changed her last name from Farnon to Carr because with a name like Charmain they wanted an uncomplecated last name.

After this Charmain goes into the traveling that she had to do to promote the movie, and then how she met her husband and had two daughters. This leads to the later part of her life a divorced mother of two doing decorating for Michael Jackson and meeting people like Jackie O.

One of the most interestiing parts of the book is in between the chapers. In this part Charmain tells stories that other people have told her about how the Sound of Music changed there lives. Some of them are rather interesting.
