No narrative--no interest, Dec 26 2010
By Susan Reynolds - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Elizabeth Taylor: The Last Star (Hardcover)
I have read several biographies about Elizabeth Taylor and this one is not good at all. I rarely give bad reviews, but this book is just terrible. There isn't a narrative at all. The author simply strings "facts" together in a semi-chronological way. She breezes through the first marriages, and, other than a few quotes (can't find any attribution though) by Elizabeth, she doesn't attempt to validate anything said. Ugh. Just don't buy this book. It is a disappointment.

A better written than normal Kitty Kelley book on Elizabeth Taylor, Jun 25 2010
By ATB / Molly Black - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Elizabeth Taylor: Last Star (Hardcover)
I have to admit that this is the best book of Kitty Kelley's that I've read. Most of her books she uses a terrible form of shorthand style writing. It isn't journalism and it's not made up but the way she writes I would expect more badly written books but, in this case, she finds a good person to write about and gets the naughtiness dished up in an what strikes me as a fairly discreet way. Her writing style also appears to have had a firm editor that kept their hand on the equivalent of a tiller.It is definitely less of an attack book than some of her others and it definitely gives Liz her shining star to place next to her two Oscars.
Recommended if you want a decently written long gossip column, so to speak, on the ever intriguing Elizabeth Taylor. I've re-read it several times when I've needed just something to pass the time (I'm a very fast reader) so I give it four stars since the writing still does leave something to be desired, but it came fairly close to getting a fifth star.

Tabloid journalism at its worst - DON'T BUY THIS GARBAGE, Mar 2 2012
By Michael, Matthew and Mark's mom - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Elizabeth Taylor: The Last Star (Paperback)
This book is nothing more than a bitter author who was so jealous of the subject of her biography that she refused to see and write the truth. She has spent years bashing Elizabeth Taylor. This book is filled with nothing but salacious lies with the clear purpose of making Elizabeth seem like she was just a selfish diva. Kitty Kelly's jealously-infused disdain comes through clearly on every page. Whether you like Elizabeth or not, this book is just plain trash.
Listmania!
