High Society: The Life Of Grace Kelly (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
I have read many biographies, this was by far the most painful. I knew next to nothing about Grace Kelly before reading this book and now I still know very little. The author spends far too much time on various scenes from her movies. It would have been nice to have more time spent on her personal life. I consider myself easygoing when it comes to reviewing, but this book was terribly disappointing. Obviously one must hold regard for Grace Kelly to read this book.Since one of my life questions to myself when a social, character building decision needs to be made Is..."What would Grace Kelly do?"Readers will enjoy this book because it does not dwell on her flawless delicate looks. You learn she wore glasses, paid for her own education even though she was a blue blood in real life. Grace always worked, followed social decorum with a flair of being a rebel, and was not able to win her own fathers approval on anything through her entire life. I admired Grace for not getting mental about the fact her father slighted her. He would not acknowledge his daughter did indeed pocess greatness loaded with talent. Grace's love life is intresting. The fact she married a Prince and how she married a Prince is worth the read. I also read this book because I wanted to be clued into her death that was so tragic. I learned why the car accident happened and the degree of love she actually had for her husband. Grace Kelly is a private person so if you want to know her as a person you need to sit with this book. I enjoyed and felt a better connection to the Great Grace Kelly.
