    Tedious
  

*by E***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 5, 2013*

As a notable jurist once said, "saying the same thing twice gives it no more weight."  I found this book dull, repetitive and overwritten.  I had to force myself to finish it.  It was essentially a gossipy People magazine tribute elongated into a book overwrought by trivial details.  How many times was it necessary to hear that to each house she rented, she brought her own sheets? More interesting to me would have been an explanation of how an estate worth an estimated 400 million dwindled down to $117,000 in thirty years.  Clothing--even couture, just wasn't that expensive . . .  And her children, what of her influence on their lives and character? And Millicent's brother, who was disowned in favor of Millicent's first-born son--what of him?  Did she even feel guilty?The book, and Millicent had the potential of being interesting--one only knows authors have done significantly more with substantially less, but instead Millicent Rogers, for all the author's  adulation, came across as superficial and one-dimensional. Passages were repetitive, and letters were recited at length which failed to support the point the author was trying to make.  The prose was largely incoherent, and I found myself rereading paragraphs because the narrative  didn't match the point it appeared the author was trying to make.  Inexplicably, Millicent Rogers was portrayed as flightly on one page, while just the opposite was said the next. Rather than demonstrating aspects of her character, it was as if the author could not make up her mind as to what she thought of Ms. Rogers, with the result that instead of portraying a nuanced view of a complex woman, the book was unbalanced and incoherent and with it ones' impression of Ms. Rogers.Finally, according to the author, if there was anything to admire, it was Rogers sense of style.  Indeed, she was regularly featured in Vogue, Bazaar and other publications and was as much an arbiter of taste and style as a collector.  Yet not a single picture was provided.  After all, a picture is worth a thousand words, and since the writing didn't offer much, the book would have benefited greatly had she done so.  Not much of redeeming value here.

    Captivating Biography of Millicent Rogers
  

*by J***T on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 31, 2015*

Well written biography of a woman who lived too short a life and died at age 50..  She found her peace in Taos, NM after a hectic life in New York and Europe, where she befriended  and worked with famous designers.  She was beautiful and was always beautifully attired.  She had the best fashion sense and was considered the woman who set fashion trends in the US and abroad. She appeared on the cover of Harper's Bazaar and was constantly written about and photographed.Unfortunately, she was not a good mother to her sons. She had married three times without success.  She also had many lovers including Clark Gable and other Hollywood stars.Her childhood bout of rheumatic fever eventually resulted in her early death in Taos where she is buried.As one who has visited Taos on several occasions, I can picture her holding court there with the Taos Indians and famous artists and writers
