I have to admit that I skimmed over their early years, but this is a good book!! I laughed so hard at one point with William Frawley in his escapades as "Bub" in "My Three Sons". He was hilarious. Learning more about Vivian Vance made me really admire and come to like her. As usual, anything about Lucille Ball was negative. Apparently she could be a real B%^&#$h in real life and I learned nothing new about her, but essentially the book isn't about her life anyway. I learned a lot and received a real appreciation of William Frawley and Vivian Vance and learned things about each of them I didn't know before. This is one for my library.

I haven't read all the book yet but what I have read is very interesting. The only thing I wish was different about this book is that it had more pictures within it. Other than that...I like the book and I have been a I love Lucy fan for many years.

Meet the Mertzes: The Life Stories of I Love Lucy's Other Couple Not what I was expecting. The book mostly contains information easily found on the internet. Goes into way too much detail in listing Bill and Vivian's movie credits, etc. and doesn't have a whole lot of info about their personal lives.

Interesting read, but the same theme of "Vivian disliked Bill" and "Bill disliked Vivian" kept repeating over and over without giving out too many details. I like real juicy, gossipy insiders view but this only skimmed the surface of the two actor's relationships to one another. The book mostly focused on the two individually rather than both of them together. You get a detailed description of Bill and Vivian's acting careers and how they evolved, which in my opinion, wasn't that interesting. I had to skim over a lot of pages because it just wasn't that insightful. "Next Bill went to this play. Then he went to that play. Then this one. etc. etc." Come on, give us the scoop! :) So that's why I only rated it 2 stars. I'm a huge I Love Lucy fan, but this book doesn't even have a reserved spot on my bookshelf. I'm selling it, anyone interested? Like new condition!

While it sometimes summarizes too much, it gives a lot of insight into the lives of Vivian and Bill. This is the only book to learn about the interesting life of Bill Frawley. If you read The Other Side of Ethel Mertz, the book will seem repetitive.
