5 out of 5 stars Ubu Gets A Treat For Being Such A Good Book!!!   April 1, 2008
 0 out of 1 found this review helpful

Sit Ubu Sit is a heart warming,entertaining and thoroughly engaging memoir. The life experiences of Gary David Goldberg are interesting in and of themselves and the lessons learned from his life's path are invaluable to just about everyone.The book is like a Philosophy 101 course putting into perspective the priorities of life using Hollywood and Brooklyn as two polar opposites of life's spectrum. Gary Goldberg is the friend we all want...........the father we all crave........the husband we all dream of......His warmth, sense of humor, family devotion,intelligence and uniqueness all interplay to make this a fabulous read.


5 out of 5 stars Quick and very enjoyable read   March 26, 2008

Reading this book feels like watching a sitcom, but you don't have to wait from episode to episode to get a few laughs. You get a concentrated dose of humor mixed with some tragedy. Another reason it is better than a sitcom is that all of the stories are true. The book is hard to put down and when you are finished it leaves you feeling uplifted, despite the parts that make you cry.


5 out of 5 stars Terrific Book, Fun Read   March 19, 2008

Wonderful book, very well written and a fun read. Gary David Goldberg tells the best and the most challenging about Hollywood, his wonderful family and especially his wife Diana.

But, when will Brooklyn Bridge be available on DVD?



5 out of 5 stars A delight   March 18, 2008

I enjoyed every minute I spent with this book. Goldberg has had a full, interesting life-- camping in Europe for many months, operating a daycare business with his girlfriend, eventually working with Spielberg and creating his own TV shows, and opening a nonprofit school for girls.

And the telling of this life is warm and funny and humble and sweet. It's a real joy to read.



5 out of 5 stars a man for many seasons-t.v seasons that is   March 14, 2008
i just finished reading sit,ubu, sit and i've been laughing and crying.
i remember watching brooklyn bridge (even though i was born in the bronx) and it bringing back memories of my childhood. gary david goldberg captured the heart and soul of that time and i was greatly saddened when the show was cancelled. i see now how and why he wrote that t.v series.

what a delightful book this is.i love his self-deprecating humor and his genuine feelings of love for his family and friends. he seems to be a man of honor and decency in a business that is neither any of those things.

i adored his journey.
