abbylos 's review for:
The Magnificent Lives of Marjorie Post
by Allison Pataki
3.5 stars. This book reads like an epic. It’s shocking to think that this is based off of a real person! I liked learning about Marjorie Post. She led a really crazy life. I sometimes felt myself judging her a little bit, but in the end she won me over just like she won seemingly everyone else in her life over.
The 4 husbands was really interesting, and that is something I wonder how the author decided to tackle. Obviously, the book is from Marjorie’s perspective so it’s hard to get an unbiased opinion, but it was like she married these wonderful men and then out of no where they turned on a dime. Maybe men couldn’t handle being with a woman of such wealth and status? Or maybe Marjorie just had horrible taste in men?
I did think the writing style was sometimes repetitive, and there were some points where I was like oh come on let’s wrap up this story!! I think I definitely liked parts 3 & 4 better than parts 1 &2.
