This was a nice, conversational book. It told about Coco Chanel's life and how she lived it, and drew lessons from various points in that life. It did provide a balanced look, not all Chanel-could-do-no-wrong, which I liked. The author told stories about herself as well, as they related to the chapters and Chanel.

Not a heavy philosophical tome, but a nice read. ( )

A little dry in places and she tends to veer off on tangents, but it kept my attention to the extent that I read it all in one sitting. Overall, an interesting read about a fascinating woman. ( )

Annoyingly written, but it did make me want to read a real biography of Chanel... ( )

So much fun to read! ( )

Ok, so I couldn't even read this one. I read a few pages and was bored. Usually I give a book a chance, but the writing steered me away from wanting to read more. ( )
