Too perfect

Everything she did was perfect. Nothing was her fault. Maybe that was how she really was but it didn't make a good story.

4.0

Fascinating story of an important woman in history. It really took you through so many facets of her life. They were all very interesting and necessary to the plot, but it got a little repetitive. Woman meets man, woman falls in love with man, they fall out of love, so on and so forth; with other various, more important, anecdotes related to her life.

I wish the author had zoomed in more on a shorter span of her lifetime, but then again, the name of the book is “The Magnificent Lives of Marjorie Post”, which I can imagine were all necessary to sharing her life story.
