A Must Read For Every Lucy Fan

Honestly, I don't get the other reviewer's comments. The author is not political in the least, except when reporting on how the politics of the 1950s almost affected Lucy's career, during the McCarthy witch hunts. I'm a great Lucy fan myself, and I was fascinated by the tidbits and trivia about her and her I Love Lucy co-stars revealed here. I really loved finding out that there was actually an I love Lucy play! This book is fantastic, and Lucy fans will love it!

Great book for any fan of Lucy!

The only thing political about this book is the coverage of Lucy being tied to the "Red Scandal" and McCarthy hearings of the 1950s. But the author is just reporting on what was written at the time. This is a very enjoyable review of the press and publicity Lucille Ball and her co-stars got as a result of being on the most popular and groundbreaking sitcom of its era. I was especially fascinated by a look at the long-forgotten stage version of I Love Lucy. Nicely done!
