Summary: Entertaining and unusual
Review: It's an absorbing and different kind of story, this tale of six girls, best friends, of The Lsst of the Hollywood Glamour Girls (Grace Kelly), who were bridesmaids in Ms. Kelly's Royal Wedding. There's more to the book, however, because it's a book about women who grew up believing they would find their Prince and live happily ever after someday -- and didn't.Whether the bride did or not remains a matter of conjecture, although the impression here is that Grace Kelly Rainier's married life really wasn't all that terrific after all. The book is opinionated to the point of being offensive. The author solves problems and gives advice to all who would listen. Her voice is strident but her story is compelling. I enjoyed the book, although I certainly do not agree with her perception of the women of her day. (I am one, after all, and I can speak with the authority of personal experience.)

Summary: All about Judy.
Review: Ms. Quine, a long-standing friend of the late Princess Grace of Monaco, did a fine job of relating all the details of Grace's engagement and marriage; in fact, I felt that I was right there alongside her and Grace throughout all the proceedings. I simply couldn't have gotten a more detailed or accurate account of one of the greatest weddings of the 20th century. What turned me off was that Ms. Quine spent way too much time discussing her own life: Her father's head-honcho job at a movie studio; her family's wealth and status; her own numerous, tumultuous marriages; her personal problems; and her errant children. She might as well have made this an autobiography! For those of you who don't know much about the details of Grace Kelly's life, you'll most certainly know less about her than you will about the author after you finish reading this book.

Review: This is my favourite book, Grace Kelly's legend will never be lived out, this book showed me that.
