It's Always Something

Rating:
Summary: recommended
Review: I have read this book at least 5 times and every time I do, I am reminded that God could take me at any time and I need to live life to the fullest. Gilda Radner was a wonderful comedian, a beautiful person and she was very brave. She fought for love and she fought for life. I lost my grandmother to lung cancer in June, and reading this book really helped with the healing process.

Summary: Very moving, very motivating. A must for all women.
Review: I have read this book at least 5 times. I always read it when I'm feeling sad and blue. But no matter when I read it, I end up feeling thankful for life itself. Gilda was truly a remarkable person. Not looking at her professional life, I wish everyone had her strenght and motivation. If only she could have known the number of people she has helped by writing this book! I am personally going through a phase in my life where I must re-prioritize my life and every time I get depressed, I think of Gilda's hardship and then I remember just how blessed I am.

Summary: A brave woman...
Review: I read this book during the big blackout (using my trusty booklight), and it really affected me. Such a vital, funny, and brilliant young woman who was lost to ovarian cancer much too soon. It made me laugh, cry, and all the emotions in-between. A must-read book!

Summary: You'll never forget it
Review: I read this book for the first time about 10 years ago. It touched my heart, made me laugh and made me cry.
10 years later, I still tell people what a wonderful book this is.
Gilda left us so many gifts, this is definately one of them!

Summary: I recommend this book
Review: I read this book without knowing why--five years before my wife developed ovarian cancer. If you know someone who has the disease or would like to know about its effects and treatments (most of them haven't changed much), I highly recommend this book. If you want to read about a love affair that lives beyond the limitations of illness and death, I recommend this book. If you just want to read about someone who lived and died with courage and dignity, I recommend this book. And if you want to deepen your faith in the strength and courage of the human spirit, I recommend this book. I'm glad I read it before my wife and I followed an almost identical path until she died in January of 1998.

Summary: I truely couldn't put it down.
Review: I read this paperback edition when it first was published
and read it again years later. It still amazes me that
this book by Gilda can instill in me, once again, the
pure joy that was Gilda. If you were (are) a fan of the
original Saturday Night Live cast, you owe it to yourself
to learn what our Gilda was really like.

Summary: Easy read, sad but inspiring. I recommend it!
Review: I remember when Gilda Radner died and hearing about her book. I always had wanted to read it and kept the title in some rolodex in my memory. I never got around to buying it. Last summer I was at a mom's group/playgroup where we were doing a book exchange and there was "It's Always Something" laying on the table. I grabbed it up immediately and felt like I'd gotten the best of the bunch. Tonight I finished reading it and I'm so glad I did finally get to read it. It's sad, uplifting and funny. It gave me a glimpse into her personal life and how she came to terms with her cancer. I recommend it to anyone but I also think if you're facing cancer this is excellent. It's an easy read, won't take long and worth every minute spent. I'm not a cancer patient, but it tells me that regardless of what obstacle we're facing we're allowed to be strong, fearful, childish and brave in whatever order we want. There are no rules when dealing with life altering issues and seeing that the human spirit can rise above, even in the face of terminal illness, and help us face things head on. God bless Gilda Radner and every person facing such a mountain.

Summary: You will Cry and Laugh reading Gilda's beutifull Book
Review: I've always been a fan of Gilda Radner.She was the greatest new comedian to come from the 70's.Just to look at her face doing skits on S.N.L. had me laughing out loud.I was so happy when it seemed Gilda was winning the battle over cancer.When she appeared on Gary Shandling's show,and made jokes about it.She looked fantastic.They even had a special lunch for Gilda,thinking she was cancer free,but she knew it was back again.Gilda still didn't give up. There's a part in the book when Gilda was walking down the street,and a car splashes muddy water on her.She starts yealing something about being "Cancer Women." Its the funniest part of the book.Gilda also write's about her childhood,and the S.N.L days,and her life with Gene Wilder.This book is very helpfull for anyone who has Cancer,and what to do if cancer runs in you family like it did in Gilda's.If only she knew,everything would have been different,but Gilda and her family have saved so many lives through Gilda's place. This is a beutifull book,and its not sad.Gilda's last gift to the World.
