I think this book gives a pretty good overview of Lucille Ball's life. It's got a couple pages of pictures which is nice. The book starts out as being pretty interesting, it has a lot of quotes and stories and it contains a lot of information. About halfway through the book though it starts to get a little bit dull. It's very repetitive and boring, and I don't think it does justice to the story. This book was published in 1973 and it talks about Lucille Ball as if she were still alive. This is a bit confusing at first and it leaves you in a bit lurch at the end because it doesn't finish the story. Other than that the story is alright.
