Book Reviews of Audrey Hepburn
Book Review: Saint Audrey
Summary: 5 Stars
If you love to read those books on stars who looked beautiful and charming on the outside and brutal alcoholics behind closed doors, you will be sorely disappointed by Audrey Hepburn. Barry Paris's book on the Imph is just astonishing. It begins with her troubled childhood, a father who abandoned her and the World War II stories of her and her home country are tear-jerking. Then her sudden rise to success was only off-set by a set of miscarriages and missed-marriages. Yet her charm and elegance shown through it all. The part that really makes an impact is that last chapters of Hepburns life. Paris's coverage of Hepburn's travels with UNICEF. It was riveting to find out how committed she was to her cause, the extents she would go to help the children, even to her dying days. Barry Paris did an excellent job in collecting facts, interviews, and side stories to make this the best Hepburn book yet.Book Review: Well written and worth the read
Summary: 5 Stars
I grew up watching Audrey Hepburn so I was a little afraid to read her biographies. I was worried that they wouldn't do her justice I suppose. This book is a wonderful biography. Not too fawning but not harsh. Audrey shines through. Well worth reading.Book Review: best Audrey biography ever
Summary: 5 Stars
From now on, one of best Audrey's biographies, the only one that Audrey's son Sean think highly of as well.
