Title: What Book Did Everyone Else Read????
Review: This was the slowest book I have read in recent memory. I was so excited when my library called to say the book was available for me to pick up. Was I ever sorry! I had read 2 books previously about Madam, and was excited to find that her own family member had written what should be the "authoritative" biography of her. Since I frequent the library every week with my son, I looked for it there. My review in a nutshell is that the author spent WAY too much time explaining the intricacies of the clubs and "movements" of the period and not enough time on Ms. Walker's actual life. There are glimpses into her relationships, but I felt Ms. Bundles kept holding back details - maybe because they could be embarassing to the family . . .? At any rate, I was not able to finish. Just got too bored. It read like a college research paper or something. But I guess everyone must make their own decision.
Is the review positive or negative?
