Summary: Everyone Loves Liesl
Comment: I do not think it is possible for any person to live their life without seeing "The Sound of Music." It is one of the best-loved movies of all time, and Liesl is one of the best-loved characters of all time. Little girls want to be like Liesl. Little boys have crushes on Liesl. If you are a huge fan of the movie like me, this book is a must-own. If you are not, this book is guaranteed to make you a fan. Charmian Carr, who played the role of Liesl 35 years ago, writes about the movie from her perspective.
Carr tells about her memorable moments on the set, her friendships with the other cast members, her experiences in Austria and several stories that will give you a new appreciation for certain scenes in the movie.
This is a great light-reading book for anybody who has ever seen "The Sound of Music." I read it straight through in a couple of days. Charmian Carr has a great way of relating to the reader, drawing you in and making you feel like she is sitting right there in the room having a conversation with you.

Summary: Loved Every Second
Comment: Charmian Carr is so eloquent and so well spoken, it is a joy to read what her recollections of making "The Sound of Music," amount to. Also, she relates much of her personal life, including sorrows and joys. She is a gifted writer and gives so much of herself to the reader, you feel as if you know her, which is a great joy to her readers and especially to her fans. This book is more than just a memoir of the movie, it is a close up look at what it was like to be a young woman and a young actress in the last of the "golden days of Hollywood." May Ms. Carr endure as long as the sun shines. Bravo!

Summary: A Good Look at the Sound of Music
Comment: This is a very good book for people who want to know what it was like to make Rodgers and Hammerstein's The Sound of Music.
Charmain Carr gives the reader information about what it was like to make this increadable movie and gives information about what it was like to work with people like Julie Andrews and the six other "Von Trapp" children.
The story is also about Charmain Carr's life. She goes into her childhood as Charmain Farnon in Chicago the middle daughter of a musician and an actress, the move when she was 10 to California and the divorce of her parents a few years later. Charmain then goes into how she got the roll of Liesl and how the producers changed her last name from Farnon to Carr because with a name like Charmain they wanted an uncomplecated last name.
After this Charmain goes into the traveling that she had to do to promote the movie, and then how she met her husband and had two daughters. This leads to the later part of her life a divorced mother of two doing decorating for Michael Jackson and meeting people like Jackie O.
One of the most interestiing parts of the book is in between the chapers. In this part Charmain tells stories that other people have told her about how the Sound of Music changed there lives. Some of them are rather interesting.
