I'm a devotee of Scott and Zelda: so much was wonderful about this book - especially the lushness of descriptions and the careful capturing of the pitch and volume of their lives together - but it lost me on a few too-creative plot points. My quest for the perfect retelling of their story continues

Work-related reading that was fascinating, shocking and compelling -- the best of modern scholarship, written with a deft hand and an open mind. Brilliant!!

Local Chicago writing at its finest -- from the repurposing of some newsworthy stories into one very tall tale, to the perfect descriptions of neighborhoods and exact cadence of local accents, this book kept my attention and made me homesick for my hometown.

"Scarlett O'Hara was not beautiful, but men seldom noticed when caught by her charms, as the Tarleton twins were." One of he best opening lines in 20th-century American literature -- and the novel is so much better than the movie.

Fun, light, fast-paced and vicious, in the tradition of The Devil Wears Prada, with great descriptions of the flaws and foibles of a tech-obsessed workplace. Any non-digital native who ever finds herself confused and just trying to keep up will recognize herself -- and be cheering by the last page.

A thorough-but-easy history of single and married women in America. It was an interesting, engaging audiobook despite a few cringeworthy mispronunciations by the otherwise splendid narrator. It's a good primer on feminism in the U.S., too.
