I should have known better
This book was published almost 40 yrs ago. I've always known about it's contents, yet as a lifelong admirer of Miss Davis I felt the urge to read it anyway....And so, to read this thing only 56 pages in - its like trodding through a pedantic mud vat of hatred, and blame. Almost every sentence is provided with bitter wording even when describing something almost benign - like a picnic... Maybe I should have read this 38 years ago when I was a much younger gal and still sometimes enjoyed the Enquirer while standing in the check out line, because right now - It's hard to turn the page I'm so bored with it. B.D. Hyman needed therapy. Instead, she wrote the equivalency of a teenagers rant, as a 40ish woman, a diatribe of spew. It's a damn shame Bette Davis' last years were spent in deep heartache over this excrement.Weeks later: still slogging through the mire... tough reading such a badly written tome.
