false http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181275583m/1135831.jpg 1135831 2 From the mouths of Tracey Ullman's myriad personae comes this scrapbook of soliloquies, photographs of characters in action, and yes, paper dolls. <I>Tracey Takes On</I>, adapted from her HBO series of the same name, showcases the protean and prolific actress and comic chameleon. Surely 20 characters and alter egos is some kind of a record. There's Trevor Aylii, gay airline steward; Hope Finch, 19-year-old student at Sweetbriar College ("She is not currently a lesbian, but she's young and impressionable."); Fern Rosenthal, a Long Island homemaker and a member of the Royal Family known only as H.R.H. (Her Royal Highness). Sparing neither Great Britain nor its former colony, Ullman lampoons or impersonates types with aninimitable style that sometimes seems too tackily real to produce an innocent giggle--more like an "Oh, no" groan. <p>First come the character's biographies, followed by commentaries; each character opines on such pressing subjects as royalty, mothers, crime, family, sex, fame, movies, and politics. There's some new material, but most of the book consists of schtick from the first two seasons of the TV series; new is a patently absurd screenplay by Hope Finch and an encounter between H.R.H. and President Clinton. For those who insist on living dangerously, paper dolls of each persona may be cut out and let loose in one's home. What will Tracey Ullman take on next? 1123067 1998 Tracey Takes On total:10|5:2|4:4|3:3|2:1| 10 37 14 2 1135831 0786883618 9780786883615 8 2 3.70 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181275583m/1135831.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1135831.Tracey_Takes_On 4 0 false Fri Jan 11 14:43:10 -0800 2008 Fri Jan 11 14:45:11 -0800 2008 more...]]> 1135831 0786883618 9780786883615 8 2 3.70 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181275583m/1135831.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1135831.Tracey_Takes_On 3 0 false Thu Jun 12 20:14:35 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 30 20:07:59 -0700 2008 3133436 0786863404 9780786863402 2 0 3.70 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3133436.Tracey_Takes_on 0 0 false Fri Oct 23 09:23:33 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 23 09:23:33 -0700 2009 1135831 0786883618 9780786883615 8 2 3.70 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181275583m/1135831.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1135831.Tracey_Takes_On 0 0 false Sat Feb 07 06:34:33 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 07 06:34:42 -0800 2009 3133436 0786863404 9780786863402 2 0 3.70 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3133436.Tracey_Takes_on 2 0 false Thu Dec 25 07:25:12 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 25 07:25:12 -0800 2008 1135831 0786883618 9780786883615 8 2 3.70 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181275583m/1135831.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1135831.Tracey_Takes_On 5 0 false Wed Dec 03 14:55:48 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 03 14:55:48 -0800 2008 1135831 0786883618 9780786883615 8 2 3.70 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181275583m/1135831.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1135831.Tracey_Takes_On 0 0 false Wed Nov 26 04:53:35 -0800 2008 Wed Nov 26 04:53:47 -0800 2008 1135831 0786883618 9780786883615 8 2 3.70 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181275583m/1135831.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1135831.Tracey_Takes_On 5 0 false Tue Nov 25 06:51:37 -0800 2008 Tue Nov 25 06:51:37 -0800 2008 3133436 0786863404 9780786863402 2 0 3.70 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3133436.Tracey_Takes_on 0 0 false Sat Jun 21 02:03:42 -0700 2008 Sat Jun 21 02:03:42 -0700 2008 3133436 0786863404 9780786863402 2 0 3.70 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3133436.Tracey_Takes_on 3 0 false Sun Mar 30 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Mar 30 07:54:45 -0700 2008 Sun Mar 30 07:55:28 -0700 2008 1135831 0786883618 9780786883615 8 2 3.70 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181275583m/1135831.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1135831.Tracey_Takes_On 4 0 false Fri Jan 11 14:56:40 -0800 2008 Fri Jan 11 14:56:40 -0800 2008 1135831 0786883618 9780786883615 8 2 3.70 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181275583m/1135831.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1135831.Tracey_Takes_On 4 0 false Sun Nov 04 01:22:58 -0800 2007 Sun Nov 04 01:22:58 -0800 2007 1135831 0786883618 9780786883615 8 2 3.70 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181275583m/1135831.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1135831.Tracey_Takes_On 4 0 false Thu Aug 09 21:13:28 -0700 2007 Thu Aug 09 21:13:28 -0700 2007 1135831 0786883618 9780786883615 8 2 3.70 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181275583m/1135831.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1135831.Tracey_Takes_On 3 0 false Thu Jun 07 21:06:33 -0700 2007 Thu Jun 07 21:06:33 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1135831
