Book Reviews of Loving Frank
Book Review: Interesting fictionalized bio
Summary: 5 Stars
I did not know the background of Frank Lloyd Wright's life so this book read like a pleasant romantic novel. I had been told that it had a startling ending. At one point, I put it down for the day and said to my friend, "I don't get it. I'm enjoying the book but I'm almost finished and life is going along so well for everyone. What could possibly be the 'startling ending'?" The next day, I turned the page and ohmygawd. What an ending. If you don't know the history of Wright, just read the book. Knowing that the ending isn't "fictionalized" makes it all the more startling.Book Review: Loved it!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best book I have read in a long time! I could not put it down. I am recommending it to all my friends.Book Review: Loving Frank
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very well researched and written book. You won't remain neutral about these characters. Upon ending the book, you will want more--more about Frank Lloyd Wright's ensuing decades.Book Review: Not Loving "Loving Frank"
Summary: 1 Stars
How is it possible to bore a reader to death with a story of celebrity, artistic acheivement ,passionate love, adultery, and murder? Just ask Nancy Horan, the author of "Loving Frank", the story of the scandalous, and ultimately tragic, love affair between Frank Lloyd Wright and Mameh Cheney.
Let's give Horan her due.....she is consistent. She never misses an opportunity to gloss over a conflict or miss a dramatic moment. In one sentence she decides to leave her husband and small children; in half a page we have the account of murder and mayhem that left seven innocents slaughtered.
The book reads more like a student research paper than a book of fiction.
Book Review: well don
Summary: 4 Stars
I have enjoyed the book but felt it was somewhat of a slow read. Thoughful and reflective.
