Nice pictures, but lacking in content,
By KadiDJ "kadidj" (Sammamish, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Liz: The Pictorial Biography of Elizabeth Taylor (Hardcover)
This book is, indeed, what its title claims it to be: pictorial. The pictures are good, so if you want to feast your eyes on the lovely Elizabeth Taylor, buy away. But if you're craving more textual content on the fascinating life of Liz, look elsewhere. The text was pretty wooden.....which is amazing, given the excitement of Liz's life.

The best book I have ever read on Elizabeth Taylor!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Liz: The Pictorial Biography of Elizabeth Taylor (Hardcover)
I absolutely fell in love with this book!Larissa Branin is a wonderful biographer of a wonderful actress. Many books I have read on Elizabeth Taylor are too judgemental, and really were just written so that the author could state what was on their minds, and not to portray the actress. Also, they either gush over Elizabeth pathetically, or viciously attack her. But Branin, simply takes us through Some books have either too many pictures or too many small, insignifigent details, but this book was perfect, and I was sad when it was over. An honest portrait of The Queen.

Beauty from within,

This review is from: Liz: The Pictorial Biography of Elizabeth Taylor (Hardcover)
This book is well done, and a loving tribute to Elizabeth Taylor. The only disappointing factor was that many of the photgraphs were ones frequently seen. It would be nice to see those rare photos of Miss Taylor, and more candids! I also found the book interesting in the fact that as Elizabeth has gotten older,her inner beauty shines through even stronger. Just look at those eyes - they tell volumes!
