  "Too Detailed and Dry for a Book Club" by RockinRenee (see profile) 11/12/12

Victoria Price's biography of her father was a chronicle of her father's life (as well as her grandfather's and great grandfather's) from beginning to end. If you want lots of information on the life and times of Vincent Price then you will enjoy this book. If you are looking for personal stories and an intimate look at a woman's father, you will be disappointed. Price seems to take her job as biographer a little too seriously, chronicling things that I'm sure not everyone would be interested in. The most frustrating thing was when she was listing every movie her father appeared in and every person he worked with on those movies. She dropped so many names I felt like I needed a broom and dustpan to pick them up off the floor. As the book gets towards the end, it does improve with more stories about Vincent Price's actual life (probably because this is the portion of his life his daughter was actually present for), but it is still a little dry. Personally, I feel this book was not interesting or fun enough for a book club, but if you want lots and lots of info, you will enjoy it.
