Books : Loving Frank: A Novel
Rating: 
- Disappointing
I really looked forward to reading this, love all things FLW. It was a real struggle to finish it, should have quit about 1/4 of the way through. Very little emotional character development and there's a lot to draw from.
The end was particularly disturbing and although final for obvious reasons, very anticlimatic.
Rating:
- Interesting fictionalized bio
I did not know the background of Frank Lloyd Wright's life so this book read like a pleasant romantic novel. I had been told that it had a startling ending. At one point, I put it down for the day and said to my friend, "I don't get it. I'm enjoying the book but I'm almost finished and life is going along so well for everyone. What could possibly be the 'startling ending'?" The next day, I turned the page and ohmygawd. What an ending. If you don't know the history of Wright, just read the book. Knowing that the ending isn't "fictionalized" makes it all the more startling.
Rating: - Loved it!
This is the best book I have read in a long time! I could not put it down. I am recommending it to all my friends.
Rating: - Loving Frank
This is a very well researched and written book. You won't remain neutral about these characters. Upon ending the book, you will want more--more about Frank Lloyd Wright's ensuing decades.
Rating: - Not Loving "Loving Frank"
How is it possible to bore a reader to death with a story of celebrity, artistic acheivement ,passionate love, adultery, and murder? Just ask Nancy Horan, the author of "Loving Frank", the story of the scandalous, and ultimately tragic, love affair between Frank Lloyd Wright and Mameh Cheney.
Let's give Horan her due.....she is consistent. She never misses an opportunity to gloss over a conflict or miss a dramatic moment. In one sentence she decides to leave her husband and small children; in half a page we have the account of murder and mayhem that left seven innocents slaughtered.
The book reads more like a student research paper than a book of fiction.
