Title: Fascinating Biography, But. . .
Product review: I enjoyed this read very much, and reached the 50% mark on my Kindle the first night. My lone complaint with this biography, and it is a substantial one, is that Hetty Green comes across as a one-dimensional person throughout the book. We are told over and over again that she was greedy, cold, cheap, short-tempered, and had no use for proper hygiene. The author does not relate any stories that represent the positive side of the subject's personality. It seems to me that a woman who lived into her eighties must have had good days when she was warm, giving, and caring. Certainly, no person is so locked into personality traits that they can't manifest other traits from time to time. Although it would have been nice for Hetty's personality to have been fleshed out in greater detail to allow for some positive attributes, let me reiterate that the book was well written and is certainly worth the Kindle price of $9.95.
