Summary: Awesome all the way around!
Review: I always thought Desi was an awesome and talented person but i never realized just all he had to go through. I never could have believed just how interesting a life he led with out reading this book. After reading it I really appreciated him that much more. He went through a lot but always got through it. This a a really funny,but sad, interesting,informal,book. A complete awesome book all the way around!

Summary: Candid, Honest and Full of Love for his Lucy
Review: I had the rare and wonderful opportunity to spend the day with Desi Arnaz back in 1977 when he came to Detroit to promote his book, "A BOOK". He appeared on the local ABC afflliate WXYZ and I knew someone at the station and spent time with Mr. Arnaz, and then went to the book signing with him later in the afternoon at the local mall. I took two photos which I cherish, (wearing his Ricky Ricardo fedora). He was kind, gracious, and when I asked him if he would do a re-union show with Lucy he replied, "All she has to do is ask me." Thank you Desi for a wonderful day and your book which I have read numerous times, is the story of a young man from Cuba, who fought to get out of the communist stranglehold that was on his country, came to America, fought prejudice here, starting his own band, and meeting the girl of his dreams, and later becoming the "Brains" behind Desliu. "A Book" is an excellant read, and you will feel how much Desi Loved Lucy and life.Robert A. Howe

Summary: A Great Mix of humor and brutal honesty.
Review: If you loved "Lucy" you'll love Desi too. This book takes a look at Desi's life, from his own point of view, from the time he was born to around 1976, ten years before his death. Desi has both a very good sense of humor and is incredibly honest when telling his story. This is one man who lead a very interesting life (Too say the least)and overcame what seemed to be the impossible. He can honestly say he struggled to make it to the top.It's obvious who his one true love really is.

Summary: Honest account of his life and struggle to the top
Review: It is a well written account in Desi's own words. He is honest throughout the whole book of his feelings and people feelings toward him. I have never read of book with such emotion and you can tell from the way he describes his life with Lucy that until the day he died he still loved her with all his heart. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in Desi, or who would just like to read a good book.

Summary: Surprisingly, one of the best autobiographies I ever read.
Review: Simply a great and intriguing read. one of the best autobiographies I ever read. Desi Arnaz was very underated, as an actor, TV pioneer, among other things. And through it all, what remains clear, and is comforting to know, he always did and will always love Lucy. Just like the rest of us....
