Who knew a book about the most hilarious show ever would move me to tears? I wish I had known about "Sein off" when the show ended on May 14,1998. Dozens of pictures and a fascinating story show just how much fun the cast had filming that last episode and also how emotional it was for them to say goodbye. When I saw a picture of Jerry Seinfeld (the best comedian around, IMO)in tears, I almost lost it. Definitely a must-read for any Seinfeld fanatic. Made me want to take them all and hug them for making such a wonderful show. But that would go against the coveted Seinfeld rule "No hugging". Sigh...
As someone who's seen "Some Like It Hot" countless times, I thought I knew everything there was to know about this classic film. However, Tony Curtis has proved me wrong. Inside this book are hundreds of secrets (some that would make Daphne and Josephine blush!)and often hilarious observations written as though he was talking directly to me. Thank you,Tony for making this movie and for the laughter you've brought to the silver screen. You are very missed, but will never be forgotten!
When you read the ending of a book three times, you know you've found a wonderful story! Just the right mixture of seriousness, romance and comedy had me reading well into the night. Samantha's transformation from high-profile lawyer to down-to-earth housekeeper was highly entertaining!

Is it possible for a sequel to be even better than the original? If that book is "Brava Valentine" then the answer is YES! Picking up where "Very Valentine" ended, the hilarious and sometimes heartbreaking story of the Roncalli family had me hooked from the very first page. Romance, drama, and a little sadness. What more could a girl want?

In the time it took me to read this first book in the trilogy, I felt as though I had traveled from New York City all the way to Capri in Italy. Amazingly, just a day after I read about the Blue Grotto in "Very Valentine", I saw it mentioned on a travel show and it was exactly as I had pictured it. Adriana Trigini has a gift of beautiful storytelling, and of transporting her readers to places they may otherwise only dream about!
