Bunny Bunny-Funny Funny

For the true Gilda fan, Or someone who enjoys the comedy of Alan Zweibel. I thought it was a sweet book. I laughed, I cried, I read it quick!

I Laughed, I Cried!

In 1975 a writer Alan Zweibel and a comedienne named Gilda Radner meet while working at Saturday Night Live. In this poignant yet very funny book, the author pays homage to a woman he worked with for over 14 years and with whom he had sort of a love story.

Using recreated dialogues between Gilda and himself, Mr. Zweibel recounts their first meeting on the set of Saturday Night Live when Gilda asks him if he will write a scene for her where she is a parakeet. From this opening story we then see their friendship forged as they work together, vacation together, get mad at one another and finally comfort one another over various events in their lives. Mr. Zweibel captures the essence of two young people in crazy business on the brink of great success beautifully and we revel in their friendship. There are so many wonderful moments I will remember like when Gilda talks about her fame and Alan is overjoyed when he gets a credit card and gets another one to pay off the first one. The when we read from the night when John Lennon dies outside of Gilda's apartment house to asking Alan to meet her new love, Gene Wilder. And as we are laughing all too soon our joy turns to sorrow as Gilda is diagnosed with ovarian cancer ending her life too shortly at 39.

This is a wonderful love story about two people who meet and fall in love even if isn't the same kind of conventional love story you might have expected.

Read this book - you'll laugh, you'll cry and end the book
Wishing we still had this talented woman still among us and especially that our sort of love story with Gilda went on forever.

Genius!

Although, I felt as though I was reading a monologue rather than a story, I was able to finish the whole book in a little less than an hour (because it was THAT good).

I just wish they would've ended up together (like together together, not just "together")..
but friendship is always stronger..
