Amazing book for all Belushi fans... November 7, 2003 Carolyn Scott (Pittsburgh, PA) Samurai Widow is a beautiful, courageous, and honest story of Judy Jacklin Belushi's recovery following John Belushi's death. If you want to get to the bottom of all the lies and hoopla the media has thrown around John's fame and success, read this book. It makes his fans and those who admired him from afar feel like they truly get to know him as a person instead of a character or celebrity. Also, if you have lost someone close to you, this book is helpful in learning how to carry on and knowing that you're not alone. Extremely touching and emotional story. Ms. Jacklin, if you read this, thank you so much for giving your story to John's fans. It relieved me greatly to find out how wonderful the Belushi family is.
Belushi Forever! August 21, 2002 Karen J. Ayers 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
In reading "Samaurai Widow," I was moved to tears on more than one occasion. This book is as intimate as one can get; exposing the difficulty of losing someone who was more than just someone Mrs. Belushi loved, but a part of her life..the other half of her being. However in the midst of such a tragic time, this book also gives inspiration and recognizes the need and ability to love and be loved again. Although John Belushi is gone, he will never ever be forgotten. All I can say is thank you. Thank you so much, Mrs. Belushi for letting us know who the real John Belushi is and allowing us to embrace the intimateness of the life you two shared together. We love you, John
a great book about a great man April 8, 1999 8 out of 8 found this review helpful
After the book "Wired", I was glad Judith wrote this book. John Belushi was more than just a wild man, and Judith showed a intimate portrait of a comical genius, who was as human as the rest of us. I was glad Judith was able to show a side of John that isnt portrayed in the media. That of a caring, giving, sensitive human being, who regualar everyday people could relate too. Though I never had the pleasure of meeting John, his well chronicled life, really made me examine my own. I'd like to thank Jacklin for sharing a side of John that few of us knew, and would have never known without her courage to write this book. Thanks.
A touching portrait of loss August 18, 1997 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I picked this book up for a dollar at a used book store. Judy Belushi's intimate portrait of the grief she felt when she lost John helped me get through my own loss of a love. You feel her anger, pain, frustration and love as she comes to grips with losing the person she loved the most in life. A wondeful book about survival that will show you why JB was not just a funny man, but a treasure to so many who knew him.
