A review by kymme
My Cousin Maria Schneider by Vanessa Schneider
1.0
Didn’t much like. It’s about 20% what the title would make one expect: a cousin’s perspective on a famous person and the things that weren’t in the media. Some interesting stuff there. Another 20% describes magazine articles about Maria, or describes moments of her films. Alright. The other 60% is a memoir, so if you care what Vanessa Schneider wore as a child or what she snacked on as a child, or what her parents thought, have at it. I did not. I also genuinely have no idea why it’s organized the way it is.
Oh, and a lot of it’s written in second person? Is anything good written in second person?
I thought I understood in advance why Molly Ringwald wanted to translate and narrate this book, but after listening, I get it far less.
On the audio: it’s fine. Ringwald *really* likes to pronounce the French words. Also she pronounces “singer” as “sing-gher,” which was unexpected.
