I very much enjoyed this book, but really was like an overview of Ziegfeld's life and world. But it is an interesting book and worthy of the time it takes to read.
The story was choppy - there wasn't much of a transition between topics, so it sort of read as a meandering biography, like one long run on sentence. Of course the facts of Ziegfeld's life are innately fascinating, and the photos in the book are the real draw here - just wish there was some sort of storyline to bring it all together. If anything, leaving me in the dark left me craving more.
The text is so disorganized that it borders on incoherent. It's as if the author simply cobbled together his notes on what he planned to put in the book but neglected to actually write it.
