Customer Reviews

excellent seller

Brillian research and fine writing. I wouldnt know where to begin, this is a book filled with a wealth of details about an enormous and enormously rich family. In Mr. Margolick's skilled hands the reader learns the intimate and honestly ludicrous details of how people live with no brakes on their behavior and it aint pretty! Extremely readable.

Hugely satisfying

This book will wholly satisfy lawyers ( & everyone else) interested in a well-informed, insightful and fascinating inside look at the biggest will contest in US history. Its cinematic scope and dramatically drawn characters make it an addictive page-turner you will have difficulty putting down. While the story itself is at times a hilarious soap opera, it is always superbly written and thus a joy to read. I can't recommend it enough!

Real Life Soap Opera

Margolick quickly sucks you into the story and uses such detail that you can picture the people, places, and events. The story reads like a true soap opera with events so absurd you have to remind yourself that the book is non-fiction. I highly reccommend this book to anyone wants to be shocked at human behavior and what people will do for money.
