Reviews - Furious Love: Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton and the Marriage of the Century

An intimate look into the lives of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. The authors refer to this iconic couple as either Elizabeth and Richard or Liz and Dick, depending on the moment. Their passion was for all the world to see in Cleopatra where it began but their life was lived as Whose Afraid of Virginia Wolf. I thought this was well written but also tragic.

Wow, this book is excruciatingly long and poorly written. It read like fiction, not biography! How did the author know how they felt and thought all the time? I "finished" it by skimming and skipping through most of it to try to get to the highlights. Wish I had just read their Wikipedia pages instead.

A bit repetitive, and not very well written, but as a former filmmajor, I love all things old Hollywood history. Worth it for the stories.
