I've been watching Days Of Our Lives (the soap - not this book) on and off since it's first episode so my husband thought this book would make a wonderful birthday present for me and pre-ordered it. His idea was thoughtful - and I really looked forward to the arrival of the book - expecting to learn some interesting behind the scenes info about plot lines and development of characters....see lots of photos of all the cast members and learn about all the changes in the actors playing wonderful charactors throughout the history of the show....but this book has absolutely NONE of that. Instead it is very disappointing - mostly a rather boring recounting of the minutia of Mr. Corday's family history right down to the personal medical history of his brother, mother and himself. TMI!!!! As for photographs - there are several of his family, and the only other shots are just annual cast photographs taken around NBC anniversery cakes. No closeups, nothing even remotely interesting.
Don't bother buying this book - you'll garner more and better information with a subscription to Soap Opera Digest.Get more detail about The Days of our Lives: The True Story of One Family's Dream and the Untold History of Days of our Lives.
