Melissa Anderson - "The Way I See It"

 


"The Way I See It"
Melissa Anderson

    I have seen many episodes of Little House on the Prairie, enough to know what is what and who is who. I have come to enjoy episodes from time to time when nothing else is on. I am in no way a die hard fan. 

"The Way I See It" by Melissa Anderson, talks about her time on the show, as she played Mary. A lot of it is synopsis of many of the episodes she is in, as well as behind the camera. 

It was an easy read for me, and probably one of the quickest in 3 days. She talks about how she was close to Michael Landon and his family. Mr. Landon also casted her in a movie based some-what on his life in "The Loneliest Runner." 

Melissa talks about her other projects but mostly Little House. 
The book is copyrighted back in 2011, and was available at one of my local libraries. 

If you are in deed a fan of Little House, I would recommend this book. 
I give it 4/5 stars.

Tom Selleck - "You Never Know"

  "You Never Know" By Tom Selleck This morning of the 15th of May, I finished reading Tom Selleck's memoir "You Never Know." Just a coincidence I was reading the chapter of his book regarding the late Frank Sinatra yesterday, May 14th...the anniversary of his death. What a coincidence! I received the book from the library 2 days after the release. It is a 14 day loan because of it. I read it in 6 days.  To be honest, I did read a review of it prior to reading it myself. I'm a HUGE Tom Selleck fan. That reviewer was disappointed and wrote that it was more of a resume with a lot of name dropping. She was also disappointed that he could not describe things, such as emotions... oh-kay. The review did not deter me from reading it myself.  What that reviewer was talking about was that Tom could NOT describe how he felt regarding situations that resulted in co-workers/crew deaths. One, a helicopter crash on Magnum PI, where his double, died...the other deaths occur...

Wild Flower by Drew Barrymore

  Wildflower by Drew Barrymore I read "Wildflower" a memoir of sorts by Drew Barrymore. It was a good read, I enjoyed it.  However it doesn't exactly cover her entire life, just stories that SHE chose to tell...to write about.  That is fine by me. Everyone has their own story telling ways and not obligated to tell the itty bitty gritty stuff of their lives...good or bad.  She writes about her up bringing, her time in the lime light and living on her own.  I would recommend this book. However, one little thing that I did not like was that she was kind of all over the place. One chapter she wrote about being 19 on her own in Hollywood, the next chapter was when she was on set of E.T when she was 6. I would have probably enjoyed it more if it was all in a time line, and not zig-zagging through life stages.  She also writes about her children, from birth. Again in a  zig zag state. One chapter she writes about her first child, the next chapter she writes a...
