I received the book today that covers the I Love Lucy sitcom. Being a Lucy fan, I can't wait to read it in its entirety. The book is in good condition and the pictures are great!

" I Love Lucy" was a favorite TV show of mine since I was a child. The book sheds light into the lives of the two main actors of that series. I knew a little of their lives but this book went into their such detail that held me captive during my read.

Being in college studying history I very much appreciate this book. It covers many concepts I have grown fond of over the years. I can tell a lot of research and effort has been put forth into this wonderful tale, I can't wait to start book two!

Wonderfully entertaining.  I too would like a sequel of Lucy's adventures.  I enjoy all of David's books.  He always goes off the beaten path and creates a world and characters I can escape to and reside with.  This reminded me very much of Judith Merkle Riley's book "The Oracle."  The same intertwining of true history with delightful and brilliantly created, events and characters.

Nice book with a lot of pictures.  Doesn't have any new information but still a good book.  Recommended for I Love Lucy fans.

I loved this story. Lucy is intelligent, funny, and quirky and so are her friends. There were several mysteries throughout the novel and the author handled the revelations skillfully.

Lucy Lives! is an extraordinarily "novel" exploration into the life of the famous Australopithecus afarensis "Lucy" whose 3.2 million year old fossilized bones were discovered in Ethiopia by Donald Johanson in 1974. Each chapter takes an imaginative look into what daily life could have been like for this early hominid and her kin. Each lively chapter then gets an explanation on the science behind the chapter's story line. It's not meant to be read as a history of what happened to a particular individual or her clan but as an invitation to begin thinking about and imagining what life was like for our early ancestors. It is an entirely enjoyable and intimate story that is both touching and informative. Novel in it's handling of Lucy's story, Lucy Lives! is an extremely accessible and enjoyable way to start thinking about how we became human.

Loved the history of the novel. Always great to look back to the time of Ancient Egypt. Could not put it down.

A great book for those who grew up with Lucy and Desi in their home.  Behind the scenes was different then on the screen and Harris brings this to light.  The book gives insight into the personalities of these two stars.  Also, the names and friends written about in the book provides fantastic trivia.

What can I say...I am a Lucy fan! When the evening hours roll around and there is nothing to watch on TV....I put in one of these DVDs and enjoy! Even though I can almost recite some of the episodes, I'll never get tired of Lucy!

These books are fun to read and educational due to Ms. Penn's passion for research and the subject matter. I love how she puts her readers in the story, making it feel like we are in these amazing locations!

I loved this book.  I've read several books on Lucille Ball and this was a very cool opportunity to read about her famous sidekick.  I have to say, I have a whole new view on Ethel now!

I have the honor of knowing Antonia now in her older years. For many years she has been telling me her incredible stories. Making me laugh sometimes until I was in tears. To be able to read her songs, stories and poems in a book was incredible! Her story is very interesting and makes a lot of fun reading! A wonderful piece of history saved forever!

I'm reading this book, The Invention of Wings and thoroughly enjoying it. Part 2 begins to explain how slaves made a story quilt. My interest in history was intrigued. Research into  thiis period of time brought me to find out about this bookI am reviewing. I would love to read about the Underground Railroad. This book is now on my wish list.
