I have a copy of "SUCH DEVOTED SISTERS: THOSE FABULOUS GABORS, and it's a very good book. It tells about their childhood in Hungary, then coming over here to the United States during World War II, and getting themselves established as international superstars.

Although Zsa Zsa's life has been full of scandal, Eva had very little scandal in her life. I can certainly understand why Eva was devastated after hearing that her last two husbands had cheated on her and were having affairs, and never remarried again after that. She hated cheating and lying, and because she was very hurt by these last two divorces, she managed to pull herself together and move on.

This book needs to be updated because a lot has happened since this book was first published in 1985. Zsa Zsa was arrested for slapping a Beverly Hills police officer in 1989, went on trial for it, was found guilty, and sentenced to three days in jail. Their mother Jolie's third husband died in 1990.

It should also tell about Eva's untimely illness and sudden death in 1995. On June 20 of that year, she went to Mexico on a week's vacation, and while she was there, she fell and broke her hip. She was then taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los
Angeles, and upon be admitted, her lungs will already filling up with fluid. She was diagnosed with viral pneumonia and given antiobotics and medication, but then she fell into a coma and died on July 4, America's 219th birthday. Unfortunately, her longtime friend and companion Merv Griffin was in Atlantic City at the time of her death, but he did go to the funeral, which was held on Saturday, July 8 at the Church of the Good Shepherd in Beverly Hills.

Jolie died on April 1, 1997 at the age of 101, and Magda died of a kidney infection just two months later, on June 6, just three days before her 80th birthday. Isn't it ironic that Eva died on the Fourth of July, Jolie on April Fools' Day, and Magda on the anniversary of both the D-Day invasion and the day that Bobby Kennedy was killed.

With the deaths of Eva, Jolie, and Magada (their father, Vilmos died back in the early 60's. He stayed in Hungary, and did not come to America.), Zsa Zsa is now the only surviving Gabor. Zsa Zsa has sort of stayed out of the spotlight ever since Eva died. I have read in the tabloids that she misses her mother and sisters dearly and just simply talks about the old days. Zsa Zsa should understand that Eva, Jolie, and Magda are in a better place today, and that she will one day see them again. In fact, in a 1997 article of "THE GLOBE", which was published at the time of Magda's death, Zsa Zsa said that there'll be so much fun in Heaven when all the Gabors are there, and guess who's going to be there with them; me.

I had been a big fan of Eva since 1966 when I first saw her on "GREEN ACRES", and when I heard the news of her death, I couldn't believe it at first. But then in August of '97, my cable company added TV Land to it's lineup, which at the time was airing the reruns of "GREEN ACRES", and I just started crying on and off. I just couldn't accept the fact that my very favortie actress and the idol of my youth, Eva Gabor, was now deceased. No other actor or actress in Hollywood will ever take her place as my favorite performer of all time. Although she's gone now, Eva is definitely not forgotten, and she shouldn't be forgotten by Hollywood either. I plan to visit Eva's grave at Westwood Memorial Cemetery the next time that I go out to Los Angeles. When I lay flowers at her grave, I just want to let her know that I was her Number One fan, that I truly and deeply miss her, that I think about her all the time, and that I'll see her in the next life. To me, EVA GABOR STILL LIVES!!

this is one of the best books in my opinion that i have ever read
it takes real life problems and fiction and puts them in one book
i would recomend this book to anyone that likes real life
problems and to anyone who likes fiction (or both)

If you are looking for a book to give you a glimpse of Taoism but need someone to guide you, then this is your book. Eva Wong writes as if she is sitting right in front of you guiding you through some of the most powerful Taoist scriptures. "I advise you to find the place where your body was born. Going back to the origin and returning to the source is the great medicine." Read it for yourself and find your own path.

The chapter on depression and how it relates specifically to the experiences of women was particularly helpful. I did not find information of this kind in any other book on the subject.

i have not recieved this book yet. waiting a long time for this book. whats the tie-up ?

This small masterpiece, first published in 1907, has only recently been rediscovered even in Russia. Zinovieva-Annibal writes of the natural world as vividly as D.H. Lawrence. Like him, and like Dostoevsky - though she writes with an apparently effortless simplicity - she has an equally deep understanding of the wildness that lies in our hearts. The translation is excellent - the writer's voice is convincing, and unforgettable.

I was very excited to find out about the Magic School Bus chapter books. I teach 2nd and 3rd grades and my students love this book! My 3rd graders are reading chapter books. This new series allows them to keep reading about Ms. Frizzle and her class. They are learning more Science facts and working on their reading skills. As a teacher I couldn't ask for more!

La investigación de la muerte de su padre y el socio de este llevan a Bemjamin Weaver al desconocido mundo de la naciente Bolsa de Londres, sus intrigas, manipulaciones, estafas, mentiras y crimenes. Muy bien logradas las descripciones que el autor hace del Londres de principios del siglo XIX, sus clases sociales, condiciones de vida, criminalidad, etc.
