Customer Reviews

I've read this 3 times.......If you like Bette Davis you'll have fun

I read one reviewer saying what a bad read this was and I just can't believe he/she would?!?!?!?!?! I have read this book 3 times and I think it gets better each time. I have also seen the play twice and enjoyed it both times. I have lent the book out to about 6 people and they all enjoyed it too. Its one of those books you don't have to really think about it. Its humourous airy fun..........its no Shakespeare, but just a damn good time. Bravo to Miss Elizabeth Fuller for allowing us into her time with Bette Davis. I know if I had this legendary star with me for a month I would have written something too. Its the only true way you really learn about the real person beneath the star facade.

Bette Davis Delight

You should defintly get this book! Its a lot of fun it shows Bette is witty and of course bitchy! lol Its great fun and well worth it. I could see her saying "brother or christ" definitly get this book its a lot of fun!

A RARE INSIGHT.

This is a delightfully funny little book in which author/psychic Elizabeth Fuller shares her experiences with her legendary house guest - Bette Davis, who stayed with Fuller and her husband and small son for a month! Amusing episodes include Liz taking Bette to McDonald's (she promised her son a visit) and the attention Davis attracted. Bette and the author watched JEZEBEL together one evening as it aired on the telly. I liked the book because it gives us insight into the real Bette Davis, who could be very child-like and just as vulnerable as anyone. Well worth reading!

Ready for Bette?

Who could ever be ready to have Bette Davis, in the flesh, come and stay in our own home? What was supposed to be a few days turns into months for our admirable author, who tries to the best of her ability to do the impossible - please Ms. Davis. Ms. Fuller lives many of our dreams come true when she takes on what turns to be an arduous task. It doesn't take long for the movie queen to wear out her welcome. Though Bette keeps Ms. Fuller hopping, the end result is a beautiful book of an inside day to day look at one of our most beloved stars. Davis fans should love it.

Be careful what you wish for: you may get it!

Hilarious and touching story of a lifelong Bette Davis fan's dream come true: her idol comes to dinner, and stays, and stays, and stays...for a MONTH! The story is touching because the REAL Bette finally comes across, thanks to the outhor's writing flair and love of her subject: Bette is presented here as vivid, vulnerable, smart, funny, terribly gifted and very lonely.
