Melody Swain's Reviews > Ava: My Story

After Elizabeth Taylor's passing I wanted to read about one of the classic screen stars that I was interested in.

I really enjoyed the parts of the book that were about the different loves in her life. Very interesting to learn that such a beauty was a tomboy and never truly believed that she had any actual talent.

Some might not have liked the way that the book was written but I found it came accross as though you were sitting down and having a drink with the star as she told you her side of the story. In that same way it dragged in some places the same way a story being told by your grandparents does.

I also enjoyed that there were some memories included from those that were close to her. Gave another dimension to different parts in her life.

But all in all if you are interested in learing more about the classic screen star I would recommend.
