review 1: This book was quite giggle-worthy. The florid descriptions were quite awesome and if not for those, this book would only contain about 75 pages of actual action and driving story. The events covered within seem to take place over the course of maybe a month. I'm not really sure since I had no idea about the affair of Coco and Igor prior to reading this. Honestly, I had no knowledge of the two people at all. And it seems that, despite having lived amazing lives as separate individuals, the affair was almost a defining moment in both of their lives. Who knows. Surely not I, since the book kindly stops right after it ends. Another thing that I will never understand is the attraction between the two. I mean, I understand that sometimes you just can't explain why you love some... moreone but this relationship is confusing. This is not helped by the authors need to describe things like Mosquitos as "fizzing like the winding of an old watch". The phrasing might be wrong but you get the idea. No? Yeah well, the entire book is like that. Good luck.
review 2: Admittedly, I am not a fashionista. So I knew not much about Coco Chanel, other than she was a famous fashion designer, had a perfume and made old lady suits. However, while and after reading this, I wanted to become more of a fashion-minded person. Her life is pretty fascinating. Not only is she pretty self-centered, but more importantly, she was a feminist. Who knew? Probably a lot of people, but not I. She made pants for women (the horror!), and thankfully also made pearls a fashion statement that will never go out of style. On finishing I wanted to learn more and more about her, and I also wanted to be a better dresser. As I type this in a tanktop and running pants, that seems not to have happened yet. Maybe its time for a re-read. less
