Book Summary Information

Book Reviews of Forever Lucy

Book Review: Lucy Lacks Luster
Summary: 3 Stars

The book reads fast and does hold your interest. In most areas there is simply not enough detail. Perhaps this was intentional. But when we get to the part of Desi's death, we do expect more than a small paragraph stating that "in recent years his health had deteriorated rapidly".

The many interviews given by Lucy & Desi over the years the authors use may make this an important resource material for Lucy researchers/fans if those sources are not readily available elsewhere. The authors do go into more detail than is usually done on the accusation in the '50s of Lucy's supposed communist activities. Also the business side of Lucy when she took over as head of Desilu are more detailed than other books on her.

Read it? Yes. But make it second on your Lucy bio list.
