All i can say about this book is WOW. It's absolutely amazing how the author collected so many poems and put them in a book and made them so incredibly wonderful to read through. This is for anyone who cares anything about poety. Get this book and even if you dislik poetry, I'm sure you'll love it after reading this book.

I got this tape because I am now homeschooling my son who just turned ten and I like to use a variety of approaches to getting material across. The tape covers the involvement of Odysseus in the Trojan War, from the time that Menelaus marries Helen to the end of the conflict. It is hysterically funny, but at the same time educational. All of the characters have British accents, and there is plenty of "fictionalizing" to make the story more amusing, but the basic historical facts are still intact. The audio (2 tapes) is also long enough that you get a good picture of many of the major players (Achilles, Hector, Paris, etc.), so I think kids will remember more about them. My younger son (age 8) also loved the tape. We listened to it in the car and the boys couldn't wait to hear more. I highly recommend this tape as an adjunct to other studies of Odysseus and the Trojan War, especially for kids around ages 7-12. For younger kids you may need to point out which details are "made up" as a way to make the story more entertaining.

I thought that this was an enjoyable book, written with frankness and verve. I felt (as far as you can) that the real Tony Curtis was speaking: for example, there were no concessions to modern "political correctness", nor was the language toned down.

Curtis tells of his childhood in New York, (the grinding poverty and racism, the tragic events his family faced), then of his break into Hollywood, his film career, his struggles with drug abuse and alcoholism, his marriages and his development as an artist.

There's lots of interesting pictures scattered throughout the book, and Curtis's narrative is interspersed with contributions from Barry Parris (mostly discussing Curtis's films), as well as from family members, work colleagues and friends.

In all, it's a lively book, though some readers might feel that they wanted more on the events leading up to the breakdown of Curtis's marriages. But I suppose that everyone has a right to their own privacy, and this autobiography is frank and interesting enough as it stands. Far better than the average Hollywood autobiography.

I have enjoyed reading this book. I find Tony's blunt honesty amusing. I will be reading along and suddenly laugh out loud over something he has said just because it is so plain-spokenly blunt. Of course I would hate for that bluntness to be used against me.

Curtis is kind towards his first wife Janet Leigh. Maybe that is because she has been kind towards him. It seems that he doesn't have much to do with his other ex-wives. At the time this book was published he was married to a girl named Lisa.

Curtis also was/is very sensitive about his being Jewish and how he was picked on as a kid, and as an adult (the stuffed, taped tail-pipe in Germany-read the book to find out what that is about).

Curtis was always a very good-looking man and he knew it, and he's honest about knowing it. His idol was Cary Grant. He wanted to make movies with Marilyn Monroe and Mae West so he could say he and Grant were the only actors to make movies with both. Curtis' tale about filming "Sextette" with Mae West is hilarious.

I love his honesty, but there is alot of anger in him. Too bad he couldn't get therapy to work that out. It probably contributed to the break-down of his marriages, and his drug habits in the past. You have to give him credit for surviving though.

I have to say that his performance in "Sex and the Single Girl" is one of my very favorites. He and Natalie Wood had such a strong on-screen chemistry.

This book is perfect if you want to read about TC, other famous people, the movies, or a young boy who went through a lot and grew up to be famous and go through some rough times again. TC tells us about his childhood, his teenage years, his brothers, his women, his kids, his films, he makes us laugh and he makes us cry. He is an amaizing guy. This autobiography, with the help of BP, is a brilliant read. It's not just for people who were around in the sixties either. I'm 16 and have read this book twice. I recomend this book to anyone that is a fan like me, or anyone who likes to read a good book.

Reading a play by Wendy Wasserstien is always a delight, but even though all of her writings are to be savored, The Sisters Rosensweig exhibits an important mark in the author's maturing style. In spite of this maturation, however, the story line never grows stale and Ms. Wasserstein never fails to draw from her reader a smile and a laugh, and give to give us a refreshed sense of the type of person we want to be--it's self-help through fiction!

The Sisters Rosensweig follows the reunion of three Jewish sisters who come together for a visit in Queen Anne's Gate, London, and the joys and struggles they share concerning romance, careers, childhood, and family--joys and struggles with which we all identify, not only as women but as human beings. Thank you, Ms. Wasserstien, for another delightful treat!
