    You could just feel the characters sitting by you at a cafe in Milan. An elegant read.
  

*by S***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2022*

I was mesmerized by page one. I was all in. It is a book I read after I saw the movie. They were quite similar. I believe Ridley Scott and the author of "House of Gucci" must have known the Gucci family. It was worthy of a Pulitzer and stayed for I think over many months on the NY Best Seller's List. The story was all too true. I read it in four days. An end to a family Dynasty, the end of a family, a dream, two men of vision. Aldo and Mauritizio, uncle and nephew had the brains.  If only Mau's wife had left it alone none of the sorrow would have come. She didn't change, but Mauritizio did. His unfaithfulness caused a shift in his wife. She'd had a brain tumor, that was large and non-malignant. She was gorgeous, elegant, knew how to live well. She adored her daughters and loved Mauritizio almost to the exclusion of all.  She could have been you. She could have been me at 24. Mauritizio owned half of Gucci and his actually gorgeous wife wanted him to do something spectacular with it. He didn't know how. His attorney did and Mauritizio (Mau Mau) was a dreamer with a vision. Just as his uncle Aldo had and built it and had designs upon it, but so did Mau's wife the gorgeous Patrizia Gucci. The movie was very similar to the book. Mauritzio changed so very much, but she grew hateful. In the end, she may as well have died. She died in her soul. Without Mauritizio her husband and friend, she had nothing to live for. They both tore everything down to nothing. No Gucci out of a hundred-year family-owned company sits on the Board or any store of their eponymous moniker. If you are looking for something fun this is not for you, if you want to see blood this is not for you. If you want to see something from the days of Cane and Abel within this book, then, this is for you. I read it thoroughly it will always live on. Perhaps in you, perhaps it happened already to me. I won't read this again, yes, Classic book again. It is too heartbreaking. God help Patrizio. I think her hell has been long enough. I felt horrible for her situation and his want from freedom to finally live on his own. He did not succeed. I am sure she still adores him. And Paola should thank God she is still alive oh where were her manners? In the dirt lying next to Mau Mau. Read it, a great classic book, kind of like Captain Ahab and the white whale. Instead of "Call me Ishmael" it is call me "Patrizia Gucci". I think the movie was as good as Gladiator whom Ridley Scott also directed. Del Sole the attorney Patrizia did not trust I have thoughts of his soul too. He had no right to cheat Mauritizio out and become CEO of Gucci, but the book is far kinder to him. I wonder how that part communicates with truth. I am no judge of souls.

    “Quality is remembered long after price is forgotten”
  

*by D***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2022*

This is a pretty long book that tells the whole story of the Gucci fashion empire. Beginning as a “Florentine mom-and-pop handbag shop” and growing to a global fashion brand name with over a billion dollars in sales of all kinds of leather goods, watches, and glasses in the late 1990s. A lot of it describes the brilliant approach to retail and craftsmanship among Gucci family members but there is also a lot of feuding and antics as the Guccis seemingly never got along for any length of time. Eventually they got involved with investors and what had been a family business for several generations ended up a public company with a lawyer, not a leather craftsman, for a CEO and Tom Ford designing red-hot fashions on the runways of Paris, Milan, and New York City. It’s just after that when the tawdry murder takes place that gives this book it’s eye-catching subtitle. Overall this is an interesting book that really takes an epic look at the way the fashion industry has evolved throughout the twentieth century, and there's quite a few digressions that are also of interest. Forden has done a ton of research, in particular interviewing seemingly pretty much everyone who was there from the family business era up through the more corporate times. The product of that research is a book about a fashion world legend packed with interesting characters.

    Read it before watching movie
  

*by N***Z on Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2022*

I really enjoyed this book. I bought it because I learned that it was based on the Lady Gaga movie. Some reviews say that it was dry or had too much details. I actually enjoyed how it went into details. I didn't find it dry at all. It was very informative and would recommend it to everyone. It does get a little confusing at the beginning trying to remember the names of all the people. There's a page at the beginning of the book where it has a family tree. I would refer to that page many times.
