"An interesting bio for someone who knew nothing about A.E. (like me). Lovell seemed to want to argue that A.E.'s husband, George Putnam, wasn't as bad as many biographers have made him out to be. She spent as much time on him as on Amelia, which was fine because he seemed very interesting. I enjoyed it but it's not a "must read"."
"I wanted to read this biography of Amelia Earhart before I saw the movie about her that was released this fall. She lead a very interesting life always advocating for equality for women. She was about my age when she disappeared. Much of the book centers on her relationship with her publicist husband who the author credits with keeping Amelia in the public eye during her life and after her disappearance. Reading about the early days of aviation was enjoyable too. We take very much for granted the safety and reliability of air travel."
"I just couldn't get into this book. I thought I would have enjoyed it much more. If you are looking for a book filled with every historical detail in Earhart's life, this is for you. It was interesting to read about how she came to be a pilot, but it also showed a side to Earhart that I never knew. Growing up I had this imagine of her as some heroine. While she was quite known and famous for her role as a leading female pilot, she really wasn't that great or skilled as she was made out to be."
"Am now absolutely obsessed with Amelia Earhart. Cannot wait to see the movie! Although I am going to be upset if they stray too far from the truth. Excellent read if you like biography-type books."
