Those Glamorous Gabors
Either reach for a champagne cocktail or meringue cookie - for this frothy meaningless "biography." Filled with quotes - some from 40-50 years ago, all without sources which always makes me suspicious.
After awhile all the affairs, the multiple marriages, the affairs more affairs even I got bored. And I love the Gabors. This book ultimately wasn't worth the size. How an author writes such intimate detail and again dialogue and note cite the source is a mystery to me.
Hopefully someone will take on the Hungarian bombshells and do them more justice. And if you want read my post in the Huffington Post on them. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/staar/s...

Paris
As always keeping this light - with no plot giveaways. After reading Edward Rutherfurd's gorgeous Paris, I've ordered all his books. So clearly I've become a fan. I recommend a sassy champagne cocktail with this thick - worth it Paris bio.
40 ml dry gin
20 ml lemon juice and a dash of lime
simple syrup to taste
the rest champagne
Will make this well-woven multi-generational book worth the trip. You'll feel as if you've gotten a healthy dose of French history without the aftertaste.
