review 1: This book reads more like a blog than nonfiction, but I happened to enjoy the author's style/persona, so it didn't end up bothering me. As other reviewers have mentioned, it's more about the person of Chanel and how she approached life to achieve what she did, rather than the brand. Some people seem to disagree with the "life lessons" presented, but I was comfortable with the lists as more a presentation of what worked for Chanel in her life and her circumstances, rather than any realistic to-do list for the 21st century woman.
review 2: Well, I wanted a book to teach me how to become a young lady, but she didn't teach me. I did not honor the little words of advice.May be it is credited to my little dictum of not listening too keenly to anyone for a plot of m... morey activities. :) Alas, I tried.The language could have been better. no Gospel, but it was nice with the opening quote---“A girl should be two things: who and what she wants.”Common, but true. :) less
