Surprised he hasn't gotten sued for libel from this book! Wait... ok, just checked online and no, looks like he didn't. However, he is dead. And he appeared in a movie I want to see- "Who the #*$&% is Jackson Pollock?"

Katharine Hepburn: A Remarkable Woman

Katharine Hepburn: A Remarkable Woman

Starts slow but good overall. Abrupt end, lots of emphasis on Kate and Spencer. Not saying that's good or bad, but it'll never totally be clear what went on there.

Emily Post: Daughter of the Gilded Age

Emily Post: Daughter of the Gilded Age, Mistress of American Manners
By Laura Claridge
18 hours (book on CD)

Funny, sweet, the author obviously really respects Emily Post for all that she did not just for manners but for women's rights and place in society. She sounds like she was a remarkable woman.

Rambling, no real end, narcissistic and pretentious. I didn't like it.

Beautiful pictures, funny stories, great behind-the-scenes look, but way too many exclamation points.

Didn't do too well on the quizes throughout the book- 182 out of 735! Guess I gotta watch my DVDs again! Pretty good, I liked learning about the real world applications of some of the science behind the episodes.

Definitely a fitting sequel to A. A. Milne's beautiful books. Sweet, simple, but moving. Very well done.
