Customer Reviews

Pleasing Bette bio filled with facts

A lexicon of Bette Davis. Unique in its style, but thoroughly enjoyable. What's great about it is the fact that you can pick and choose which topics you'd like to read about, and skip over those that don't spark your interest. For example, it lists every street address and city in which Bette lived, and in what years. Unknown facts like those make this book exciting to read. And being from Boston, born and raised, anything on Bette Davis (especially since I can actually visit her homes in Lowell & Newton) is worth reading. In response to one of the previous customer reviews on this book, yes it's true that this author does bash and criticize nearly all of Bette's films. I heartily disagreed with some of his reviews, but just remember, everyone's entilted to his or her own opinion. What they say is not gospel. A great concise conpendium of facts perfect for the Bette Davis fan.
