melissarochelle 's review for:
Before Bennifer, before Brangelina, there was Liz and Dick. Their relationship started the paparazzi craze that is still going strong decades later. I've never seen an Elizabeth Taylor or Richard Burton film, but I became more interested in their story after Taylor's death last year.
I only knew her as the lady that sold perfume...and I didn't know him at all. At one point I had a hardover of the book checked out from the library, but never got around to it. Then picked up the paperback from Target one day. It still sat around. Finally, after reading [b:Beautiful Ruins|11447921|Beautiful Ruins|Jess Walter|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1338161553s/11447921.jpg|16381755], I decided it was time for Furious Love.
Their story is glamorous and tragic. They loved each other so much they couldn't stand to be together. Burton wrote fantastic love letters. Taylor loved with an amazing passion. They really were amazing. And now I feel the need to hunt down their best movies (there's a list of what they each thought were their best in the book) and see them together (and not together) on screen.
