I thought it would be interesting, but it was dry and repetitive. I do not doubt that Gracie was a lovely woman and the love of George's life, but her life was boring. First book in a long time that I have elected not to finish. ( ) I'm not sure what I was expecting, but it wasn't quite what I expected. I remember George Burns as a cigar-smoking, joke-cracking television star. I knew he'd been in radio when he started out. I didn't expect him to downplay his talents so much, but in the end, the book is a loving husband's tribute to his beloved wife who also happened to be his work partner for many years. A memoir of his life, career and marriage with Gracie Allen Burns, George Burns has filled these pages with love. It is a delightful recounting of their life together, how they met, how they worked together, the various types of performing they did, and how it ended in her death by heart failure. I found the descriptions of working in vaudeville, on Broadway, in radio, TV and the movies very interesting. Many entertainer's names are mentioned, and with the help of YouTube and Google I was able to look up the ones I didn't know. If you enjoy reading about celebrities, or lasting marriage, or early Hollywood, radio and TV, I think you will enjoy this. There were a few redundant passages, but usually with enough humor that it wasn't tiresome. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
