    Uh, what?
  

*by S***K on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 15, 2014*

Borrow this your local library if you feel the need to learn more about this person. Please don't waste your money. The purple prose used in some reviews here is not merited. The book is too densely detailed and could have benefited from competent editor. This life does not earn a two volume set. The subject of the book (IMO) was the Kim Kardashian of her time.*spoiler alerts* Her 'rise' to infamy was based largely on marriages to two millionaires and numerous liaisons before, during and after both. Her jealousy towards both husbands' infidelity was laughable, in the face of her behavior. She managed to write one decent play (The Women) with the heavy assistance of a professional writer and her then husband's money. She was the 'mother' of a daughter who was shipped off to boarding schools when her presence got in the way of Ms. Luce's full time social agenda. Her racism (could not find decent domestic help for her Southern manse because of FDR's social programs - wrote a letter to him scolding him for his safety net financial programs) and so-called feminist activities (less than one month in DC) are cringe worthy, even seen through the prism of more modern thought. So much for cutting edge and ahead of her time. Her globe trotting journalistic trips were funded by Mr. Luce's money and some of the articles she wrote were not published due quality issues. Her purchased political win is not worthy of the brief discussion in the book's final chapter.Personal footnote: if your affairs are so frequent that you need to remember them by circling a page number in your diary, something is off in your emotional makeup. A human being who can face, embrace and accept their true nature is a life worth writing about. A professional B-girl with a big wallet who lies to everyone including herself (and both of her therapists - that's in her diary, too) is not.Two stars - this does not deserve the energy to hate it. I do hate that trees died to make this book though.Update: I am returning the sequel book (Price of Fame) that I bought. I have better things to spend my money on. Am donating this nonsense to my local library in the hopes that I will reap good karma by saving folks some hard earned cash. If they don't want it, I will recycle.

    I love great biographies
  

*by C***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 15, 2014*

I love great biographies; best way to learn history.  Ms. Morris is an amazing researcher; all the details enrich the entire timeline of Ms. Luce's extraordinary life.  Rage for Fame is a fast read -  hard to put down.  Pulls many of life's principles together - things never change, history repeats itself, human nature does not change, etc., etc.  Ms. Luce's life certainly illustrates that "women's lib" is nothing new; it's always been there for those who really wanted it.  Clare Luce just happened to live on the timeline of our US/world history (both world wars) that gave her an extraordinary backdrop for all of her ladder climbing accomplishments.  All of these accomplishments are not without a lot of personal pain and all of us know that pain is included in all of our lives; the rich and famous do not escape.  Highly recommend; enjoy.  Just downloaded the sequel on my Kindle, Price of Fame, and have already started it.

    If you like details, this is for you
  

*by T***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 15, 2014*

I was really interested in learning more about Clare Booth Luce and the book was interesting but I wasn't ready to read about every single person who came into her life.  It was just so much detail that I never got very far.  It would have been great if I were doing a paper on her.  Who else cares what grade she got in each subject?  It was just too detailed.  She wasn't famous for every guy she dated, or her grades in school.  I couldn't stick with it but maybe I'll go back and flip through until I hit something to which I can relate because what I read just wore me down.  I may try again.  If you love the details, you'll love this book!
