"This biography could have easily gone down the tubes into tabloid trash. Instead, it's a fascinating and engrossing story of a damaged little girl who grew up to become Paramount's biggest female box office draw of the 1920's, but continued to fight her demons all her life. Well-researched, sympathetic, respectful. It's not sanitized, but it's not sleazed up to the nth degree either. Great read."
"Not exactly an "easy read" which is why it took me almost a year to finish. I've been obsessed with Clara Bow since I was a kiddo, so I enjoyed it. Overall very good, especially toward the end when things picked up."
