HUGELY VALUABLE

Revisado: 03-08-22

The authors accent is sooooo thick it’s almost unbearable to think there are hours ahead of this voice. However as it goes on, you realize this is the voice of one of Lucy’s friends — a voice she would recognize and look forward to hearing. The chronicle of these lost years are invaluable and by the end of the book you wish the authors voice would go on and on and on.

*love the honesty about Gary Morton. As people in LA refer to him, the male Barbara Sinatra.

LUCIE ARNAZ MADE THE BOOK

Revisado: 01-11-22

I can see why Lucy didn’t release it. It’s very good just it wasn’t the end of her career then. In fact she got bigger. LUCIE ARNAZ narration made it so much more intimate as she knew how her mother would have spoken it.

Surprisingly unbelievably captivating

Revisado: 12-16-21

I didn’t expect what I got from this book - which was an amazing context to that day in Dallas and beyond. It is a story like no other, I didn’t want it to end. This is a story that could only happen in America. We have owe a great debt to the Zapruder family and many owe them an apology -especially to the memories of Abraham and Henry who preserved and protected not only the film but the dignity of John F Kennedy in ways that not everyone agreed with - but navigated uncharted terrain with a task no one would ever want to handle with grace. Excellent narration, excellent research, just extremely floored by this story. Brilliant job.

What a fascinating woman and what a great son. This book is far more than one can imagine. GV was a vat of wisdom. Amazing.

Hysterical and Essential

Revisado: 07-29-21

Brilliant book, hysterically funny, and filled with life lessons delivered in the most unassuming and relatable way. I saw her on Zac Efron’s show, had known of her and her work… But, on Zac Efron’s show her personality came across in a way that made me want to read the book. So, I got the audiobook - because I don’t really read books anymore. One of the best books I’ve “read” in this genre in a long time.

Great New Information- comprehensive

Revisado: 07-24-19

I’ve read so many books about the queen and the royal family, this delicately weaves - in an expert fashion - the history and personalities that make up the house of Windsor. I would prefer an updated edition as it was published seven years ago, but it is still quite an extraordinary achievement

Exceptional chronicle of two women who shaped the beauty industry, and the perception of beauty for generations. A worthy and entertaining book.

A Very Biased History

Revisado: 05-06-19

It’s hard to believe any of this book. Not a fan of the Clintons or Obama’s or Biden’s and not a Democrat… But even as a lifelong Republican, I find it odd, to say the least, that every Republican is a wonderful protectee yet every Democrat is abusive, dismissive, mean,… The author writes in such a pejorative way making assumptions outside of the anonymous quoted material. He constantly repeats the negative stories about the Democratic protectees, over and over again - and negative stories are all he has on them. Oddly, he doesn’t say nary a word about Bill Clinton, so I guess I am to assume that maybe he was a decent protectee. Therefore, don’t include him? The only Republican he was dismissive about was Dick Cheney’s lesbian daughter…While there is some anecdotal information, this isn’t at al what I thought or wanted. Sick of the constant new cycle, wanted to escape into presidential history, but the distain of this author makes it hard to believe a word of what is said.

Great one liners.

Revisado: 05-05-19

This is a must for any VEEP fan. The narration starts off slow, in that, JLD and Tony Hale don’t seem fully in character but they get there and until they do they likes are veep quality brilliant ‘One of those people that makes you want to deep throat a shotgun 40 times a fucking day.’

I can’t imagine that the book is as entertaining in the print version, however it is definitely hysterical in this form

The most beautiful love story

Revisado: 02-27-19

Saw the movie, it was beautiful, the book while well represented in the movie is jaw-droppingly, painfully, beautifully and excruciatingly... just everything you couldn’t even imagine that you wanted it to be
