Average Rating: Rating: - Very good book! The book AFTER THE FALL is a very interesting autobiography by a charming and talented performer. It describes how Suzanne Somers became one of the the most famous TV performers in the 70s only to become one of the most unsuccessful TV performers of the 80s. She deserved better than what she got on THREE'S COMPANY. It was especially interesting to read about how Suzanne reacted when she met the actress who replaced her on THREE'S COMPANY. The book is also about how Suzanne and her husband blended their families together. Suzanne's husband was very resentful of her son and it was sad to read about the way Bruce was treated for many years. But in the end everything works out for the best. And I can only hope that one day there will be a THREE'S COMPANY reunion? Rating: - SUPERB AND WONDERFUL! This book spoke to my heart and I thought it was wonderful and to the point. It showed how you have to take responsibility for what you are and the decisions you make. And also it showed how you can pick yourself up and move on and not have to be stuck in a rut. I encourage any and everyone to read, you'll learn things you never knew. Rating: - Who's the real victim here? I'm glad that Suzanne Somers has found peace and happiness in her life. I was disappointed though with her road to peace. She was young and immature when she filmed "Threes Company". I do agree with her that she deserved to be paid as much as a male and it is unfortunate that, at that time, Hollywood didn't think so. Her account of how poor she was as an unwed mother, before her rise to fame, didn't set well with me. California was and is a welfare state. Why didn't she go on public assistance? She spoke to Barbara Walters of the shame of posing nude so she could support her young son. Yet, in Dec. 1984 she posed nude again for "Playboy Magazine". She failed to mention that in the book, yet there is a picture of the cover of "Playboy". Her excessive spending and then sudden loss of income didn't make me cry. Spending $1500.00 each day for make-up and hair styling. That's rent for most people in California. She mentioned how Allens parents were a little uncomfortable of she and Allen spending so much money on elaborate gifts at Christmas time. His parents were very poor when he was little. You would think that she would have remembered her days of struggling as a single mom and how every penny counted. Finally, how in the world could she stay with a man who for years didn't want anything to do with her son! She says that her son always came first. If her son came first, she should have told Allen to take a hike! How could she hear Allen speak to Bruce the way he did and then speak of passionte nights in bed with Allen? I hope that Bruce has truly healed from the hurtful past. However, for him I would recommend a book titled, "Toxic Parents", by Dr. Susan Forward. I come from a broken home and "Toxic Parents" helped me a lot. As for Allen, he should be ashamed. What kind of a role model has he been for Bruce, Stephen and Leslie?
