review coming soon!

Very interesting, I would recommend this one. ( )

Very disappointing and hard to read. The book is subtitled My Story. I expected to hear about what it was like to grow up with Danny Thomas as your father and having dinner guests such as George Burns or Jack Benny and yes, you did get some of that and I admit that what there was of it was very good - but I am sure there were many more stories Thomas could have told of her father, her tv series That Girl, and others she worked with. Instead, you got an interruption every other chapter or so where Thomas interviews a comedian such as Jon Stewart, Chris Rock, Jay Leno, and others and asks them questions about their childhood and if they were the class clown. This has NOTHING to do with Ms. Thomas' story. If I had wanted to read about these people (which I did not) I would have bought a book on them. It got so that I skipped those chapters to preserve the continuity of what there was of the story of Marlo Thomas. It disrupted your concentration on the text and the enjoyment of hearing those stories to then go into a chapter on a completely different topic and subject. Additionally, Ms. Thomas did not go into the loss of her mother and what affect that had on their family. She devoted a chapter to her mother but never let us know what happened to this interesting personality and comedian in her own right. The interviews with the comedians that so disrupted this book should have been a different book or put altogether in the back. ( )
