I've been a Days of Our Lives fan for over 20 years now. Interested in the history of my favorite Salem families I have managed to track down some old early 80s episodes online. But I've been eager to find even earlier episodes from back in the day. Unfortunately, they seem impossible to find. So imagine my pleasure when I found this book-- chronicling the very beginning of Days, back in the 60s.
We have good ol' Tom and Alice Horton, Mickey, a teenaged Julie and some characters I'm not familiar with like Marie and even a mention of Addie (Hope's mother!).
The main storyline is the romance of Julie and David Martin. It's a typical soap opera romance complete with a love triangle and a tragic climax.
There is a side story involving the young lawyer Mickey going head to head with his well-respected father Dr. Tom Horton in a case involving contaminated water.
Overall, I enjoyed the stories and loved learning about the beginnings of Days. However, the numerous typos drove me crazy. I just couldn't get over New Your instead of New York, that's an inexcusable typo!
Also, after finishing the book I searched online to see if there were parts to the story that perhaps were left out. Ugh. Not only were parts left out but major events were totally altered. So this book gets 2 stars instead of 3 from me. I want the unaltered Salem history! (<
