Arnaz, Desi,

"A BOOK" by Desi Arnaz & Co.

The best of the best in writing skills, in ingenuity and... love of... people, the everyday working folks who always needed, need and enjoy the "I LOVE LUCY !" TV show... still . A loving living memoir by The Desi himself and his daughter and grand-daughter. Also, about turbulent sex-love affair with his wife Lucille Ball and the second one-with Edith. A brilliant life's and love story that had ever been !

Arnaz, Desi,

A Book.... by Desi Arnaz.

Very well written memoir, truthful and loving memoir by The Ricky Ricardo self aka Desi Arnaz. Reveling all the hard work and life in Cuba and in the America. About the multi-talented charming guitarist, bango-playing, singer... and band-leader... Famous lover and adoring husband... I recommend this book of his very much. And the photography in the book is charming.

Pinkham, Sophie

The oak and the larch.....

There are no images nor photos in the book, aside from a couple of dark ink pictures of no interest to a knowledgeable reader ! And if you happen to come from real Russia/or Soviet Union, you definitely KNOW more about beautiful Forests, rivers and Karelia or it's islands than the author. I do not suggest this book to anyone of Russian descent.

On ANIMALS and their human handlers.

While I had just started reading this book, I would like to state, that it Has NO ILLUSTRATIONS nor photography whatsoever as the description of the book STATES ! Plus, the text is all about author, and not the ANIMALS. I understand, some young and even old folks like to brag about themselves, but while lacking the evidence of the latter, it becomes boring and superficial and totally undesirable. I do not suggest this or any material of this woman-writer, to anyone.

Forget Me Not.

This particular novel is way below expectations: its intrigues and families' intimate scandal (s) are pretty disgusting. I thought, I would enjoy her second book after reading her other book about man losing his memory and meeting his actual wife and falling in love with her the second time around. But this "Forget me not" is a total disgrace of the author's potential ability and trust, I have had for her.
