    I Love Lucy was one of my favourite shows! I haven't watched it in so long. IT's a shame this book was difficult in placed but still sounds like an okay read. Great review!

    Aw I remember I Love Lucy! Seems like an interesting read. I like the way you review. I'm still very much at the stage of reviewing things by either saying I like or I don't like. No in between haha.

    It's a shame this wasn't the most enjoyable, especially being so awkward in those first few chapters that are supposed to draw you in. At least it was well researched! x

    It can be so frustrating when it's difficult to read. I love a book that flows so well and its just like poetry

    I’m lucky enough to live in an area that broadcasts the show regularly! I hope you are too!

    I love I LOVE LUCY! ? My sisters recently discovered Me TV and have been on a classic marathon all of quarantine. It's really nice since they are so young and had never even been exposed to these shows (my parents are native Spanish speakers). The book sounds really interesting, but I am a bit sad it was hard to understand. Thank you for sharing your review!

    I've always wanted to watch I Love Lucy as it's referenced by other shows and film! Unfortunate the book isn't as well recieved!

    I’ve never heard of this show but the history of it sounds so interesting! It’s a shame the book was difficult to read ?

    Thanks Alex! I’m sure you’d find an episode on YouTube. It’s on TV here in North America on weekends.

    I need to check out the I Love Lucy show because I've literally heard about it my whole life, but never watched it!

  20. thathappyreader

    You should! Comedy is timeless.

    I'd never heard of this before, a shame the book was an awkward read but I'm interested in giving the show a watch. Thanks for sharing

    I remembered watching I Love Lucy as a kid! It is great that there is a written adaptation of it. The Queen of Tuesday sounds like a pretty good book overall. Even more that the author spent time doing some research on the show. It is a bummer that there were some areas that were difficult to read. Glad you enjoyed it overall!
