The women

Wright was full of himself? I think this author is. He puts as many humongous words as he can in one page. Not only that, the sentences ran on and felt way too much. Got a bad feel from this book and it doesn't reflect well on the author's writing style. Footnotes? What was the purpose? I didn't feel that it was useful, when he could have just put it in the story itself. 

This book was a fail for me. Just couldn't get behind his need to make himself feel smarter with the big words and the cramming of sentences.

Welcome to the troubled, tempestuous world of Frank Lloyd Wright. Scandalous affairs rage behind closed doors, broken hearts are tossed aside, fires rip through the wings of the house and paparazzi lie in wait outside the front door for the latest tragedy in this never-ending saga. This is the home of the great architect of the twentieth century, a man of extremes in both his work and his private life- at once a force of nature and an avalanche of need and emotion that sweeps aside everything in its path. Sharp, savage and subtle in equal measure, The Women plumbs the chaos, horrors and uncontainable passions of a formidable American icon.
