Summary: Will give you a greater appreciation of author
Review: Enjoyed the taped version of AFTER THE FALL, written and read
by Suzanne Somers . . . it is her third book . . . this one accounts
how she picked herself up, dusted herself off and started all over again
after being dropped from THREE'S COMPANY in its fifth season

It gave me a better appreciation for Somers who had difficulty finding
work for nearly ten years after she dared ask for pay equal to that
of male TV stars of that era . . . she refused to give up, however,
and instead became involved in a hit Las Vegas show, along with
an informational and several books . . . when she resurfaces in 1991
to become one of the stars of another TV show, STEP BY STEP, I
almost cheered.

Summary: Who's the real victim here?
Review: For the first time we hear Suzanne Sommers' version of what happens on "Three's Comapny" and it makes sense. People might disagree with me, but Jerry Seinfeld and the cast of "The Simpsons" owe her a debt of gratitude for sticking up for herself, saying she deserved more money because she earned it. Although Suzanne didn't suceed with her goal, others have and they should thank her for it. The scene when her husband Alan and her son finally talking had me in tears. And the dedication to her mother who recently passed away broke my heart. Ms. Sommers-if you are reading this-I called on your appearance on HSN and I mentioned your mother and asked how she was doing. You were very gracious, but I did not know that your mother recently passed away a couple of days before. I just wanted to say how sorry I was-I did not mean any harm. Your book was wonderful!!!!

Summary: Very good book!
Review: The book AFTER THE FALL is a very interesting autobiography by a charming and talented performer. It describes how Suzanne Somers became one of the the most famous TV performers in the 70s only to become one of the most unsuccessful TV performers of the 80s. She deserved better than what she got on THREE'S COMPANY. It was especially interesting to read about how Suzanne reacted when she met the actress who replaced her on THREE'S COMPANY. The book is also about how Suzanne and her husband blended their families together. Suzanne's husband was very resentful of her son and it was sad to read about the way Bruce was treated for many years. But in the end everything works out for the best. And I can only hope that one day there will be a THREE'S COMPANY reunion?

Summary: SUPERB AND WONDERFUL!
Review: This book spoke to my heart and I thought it was wonderful and to the point. It showed how you have to take responsibility for what you are and the decisions you make. And also it showed how you can pick yourself up and move on and not have to be stuck in a rut. I encourage any and everyone to read, you'll learn things you never knew.
