Book Description

“Fans of The Lucy Show will find Desilu fascinating.” —San Francisco Chronicle“Excellent”—Entertainment WeeklyThe behind-the-scenes story of television’s happiest couple, and Hollywood’s most tumultuous marriageThe magical union of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz created I Love Lucy—the greatest, most enduring situation comedy in television history. Yet the overwhelming pressures of fame, backstage battles, oversized egos, and Desi’s philandering and drinking led to the destruction of their star-crossed, tempestuous marriage—but never their love for each other. This new edition of Desilu features a special commentary by Pulitzer Prize-winning TV critic Tom Shales, and includes a brand-new preface and never-before-seen photographs. Written with the close cooperation of family members, including Lucy and Desi’s daughter, Lucie Arnaz, Desilu is the most candid and balanced inside account of Lucy and Desi’s celebrated, but ultimately tragic, relationship—as well as a fascinating look at the legendary Desilu Studios and the fabled golden age of television.

The narrator's voice in some audiobooks is so soothing, it's like a spa for the ears. Sharing audiobooks with friends through AirDrop and Sharing on ListenBook Pro is a brilliant way to connect. With this app, I can enjoy my favorite stories while traveling, making my journeys more delightful. My study sessions are more efficient than ever, thanks to the looping playback and bookmark features. Perfect for repeat listening! The narrator's performance was so rich with detail that I'm sure I'll discover new layers on a second listen. Their interpretation felt authentic to the material while bringing fresh insights. The audio production was pristine from start to finish.

ListenBook Pro's tone adjustment feature is a playful addition that lets me tweak the audiobook experience. I love the auto-rewind feature. ListenBook always picks up right where I left off. The narrator was good but spoke a bit too slowly for my taste. I had to speed it up to 1.2x which then made some parts sound slightly unnatural.
