Title: Not a roaring flame; but still a great book.
Review: After reading Kanfer's bio on the the late, great Groucho Marx. I went into "Ball of Fire" knowing what to expect. And I was right. The reader gets a "blow-by-blow" rundown of Ms. Ball's life. From her simple upbringing in Upstate New York. To learning her survival skills during the early days in NYC. Finding success in her career and her lovelife in California. And later adjusting to the role of legend and icon during the last years of her life. I really think "die-hard" Lucy fans will find the book a tad boring because most of what is said has be repeated before in other periodicals.
