Book Review: Loving Frank is loving this book.
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this book. It takes you into a world of a genius and makes him human and yet brilliant. It makesyou understand his genius and see a new side of his passions. Driven with a love for nature, you now see his love for another human. He went with his passions and remained truw to his nature and his love of nature. This book is excellent. It makes me want to search out his works and go to see Falling Water. Thank gawd I live in Pittsburgh, and I can see it anytime. I have passed this book onto others, it is worth sharing with as many of people who love nature, art and genius.Book Review: A True Love Story and a Lesson in History
Summary: 5 Stars
I enjoyed every aspect of this book. The writing was "from the heart". The lessons about the early days of the Women's Movement were fascinating. Mamah's life was filled with hard decisions. It was heartbreaking to see how much she had to give up in order to be herself and live a life of authenticity. We are lucky to be alive today, when women have real choices and are not ostracized for following their dreams. Book Review: Don't miss this true story.
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this book for a book club that I am in. It is very well written and a real page turner. It is a novel but the reader will feel that it is 100% true. The only thing the reader needs to watch out for is I became so interested in the characters and I Googled them. It spoiled the story for me because I knew exactly what happened at the end. It is fiction but very well researched and not to be missed.Book Review: Such a DISAPPOINTMENT!!
Summary: 1 Stars
This book came highly recommended and from all the reviews, many have enjoyed it. Maybe it was all the hype that set such an unattainable benchmark, but I think it was the story itself that failed for me. As a woman, a wife and a mother - most especially a MOTHER, I had such a difficult time relating to Mameh. I just couldn't fathom the choices she made and in the manner in which she chose to excuted them. Her utter disregard for her responsibility to her children was absolutely disgusting!!! This book was such a waste of time.Book Review: Intriguing but not a favorite
Summary: 3 Stars
Loving Frank was interesting and a page turner, but I found myself wondering why she didn't find some work of her own where she didn't have to be so dependant on him. I guess it was a bit too much feeling sorry for themselves instead of trying to build their life back together ina more productive way. I have to say that I couldn't put it down and it was well written, just not too inspiring for me.
