smorereads 's review for:
The tempestuous marriage of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton is chronicled in this book. Know to the world as "The Burtons", they were considered royalty by Hollywood standards. The fights, drinking, break ups, and re-marriages are mentioned. For the most part, it a telling of the story in a way that is akin to people gossiping about one of Hollywood's greatest love stories. The writing could have been better and more objectivity could have been used when discussing the Burtons. As a fan of Richard Burton, I prefer Melvyn Bragg's biography of the actor, so for me this book fell short of my expectations. Even so, I enjoyed reading about a love that lasted until Burton's death in 1984.
