review 1: Full disclosure: I am a HUGE Audrey Hepburn-phile. I love her movies, her beauty, her goodwill, her kindness, her peaceful spirit and, most of all, her style. I often joke that my fashion sense is "Audrey Hepburn re-imagined as a hot mess." I pretty much love everything she did and anything about her. That said, I am not entirely sure how I feel about this book. The biographical portions were fantastic, and I learned things I hadn't learned reading other biographies of her. But, I felt like the author took a LOT of liberties in trying to demonstrate what Audrey would have done. I was more interested in learning about her style as a real person, not about what someone thinks she maybe might have done, hypothetically, had the situation presented itself. And, other celebritie... mores were randomly thrown in as examples, which was a bit confusing. In any case, I want to watch "Breakfast at Tiffany's" now.
review 2: Well I found this book quite fun to read. It turns out I'm more like Audrey than I knew (I really didn't know much about her at all before), and that is marvelous to discover. Yes, parts of the book are quite superficial, but surely we all have some things we enjoy in life that are ultimately rather superficial. Furthermore, parts of the book are not superficial at all and focus on Audrey as the wonderful person she was rather than the style icon we remember her as. In fact, by the time I got to the end, I had grown to like Audrey so much that the story of her last weeks of life nearly had me in tears. I recommend this book to anyone who has ever admired Audrey even the smallest bit. less
