Book Reviews of Thing of Beauty
Book Review: Tragic, fascinating story, bad writing
Summary: 3 Stars
When reading this book, I found myself wanting more about Gia the girl, Gia the woman, and unfortunaltely 2/3 of the book was about events and people surrounding Gia. If you want to read alot about David Bowie mania, the ugly buisness of modeling, and the New York fashion scene in the 70's, then youlle like this book. But if you're like me and want to know more about what Gia was feeling, about her personal struggle, then don't expect to be told her story thru her eyes with this book. This book seems to detail more about the lives of others that have touched Gia's life than the details of Gia's life itself. It seems like there was so much to Gia, that the only person who could of made her story come alive is Gia herself.
