Title: Seriously good reading - but it ain't your Joan Crawford story
Review: I LOVED this book! I read it in anticipation of the HBO mini-series. Actually, I read it in between part one and part two. Could not put it down. I really enjoyed the extra detail in the book - the slice-of-life from those Depression days and a really cool look inside the mind of a really screwball woman. It's funny to think about the fact that it was written by a man - what must he think of us gals? I haven't really gotten into analyzing it to that depth, but maybe one day I will and this review might embarrass me. I better cut it short. The book is fantastic. The mini-series is great. The original movie is still a classic, though very different in tone from the book and tv series. (Is there such a thing as a 'book noir?')Mildred Pierce
