About this listen

 From veteran entertainment reporter Sam Kashner and biographer Nancy Schoenberger comes the definitive account of the greatest Hollywood love story ever told—the romance of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. Kashner has interviewed Elizabeth Taylor numerous times and is the only journalist given access to her extensive collection of personal letters and journals, and he and Schoenberger have also interviewed the Burton family at length, including Burton’s actress daughter Kate. This is truly an authorized and singularly informed biography of these two larger-than-life stars, and of their glamorous, volatile, and audacious relationship.

Don't make the mistake of thinking "Oh I know all there is to know about the Liz & Dick Saga". This book is packed full of new information - a lot of it first hand from Elizabeth Taylor herself. The reader is carried along into their world of love, tantrums and turmoil. It definitely is the sort of book that you hate to finish reading. Not just for the romantics among us, this will appeal to all fans of Hollywood, brimming with little gems and laugh out loud moments at some of the ridiculousness yet loveability of those who live the golden life. Theirs indeed was a furious love.

A Must Read for All Fans of Hollywoodland

I found myself nearly crying at the end of this book,I really do think that Elizabeth and Richard were the loves of their lives,it was only when they became liz and Dick that the mayhem took over drinking sent Burton into an early grave,but that had started before he met Elizabegh Taylor and they at times torchered each other,but still they could not live with each other and could not without each other..but an enduring for better or for worse love.

Takes me back... y could not

Richard Burton remains the most greatest actor of all time in my eyes Elizabeth Taylor. Oh my god what a live story two forces of nature destined to be together. And rest in peace dear Richard and Elizabeth you forever loved in my heart for your great talent and for the love of life and for helping others with less than yourselves. God bless you both rest dear R&E.

FANTASTIC

I enjoyed, but the male narrator doing female voices? Why not just hire a woman? It's a big publisher. There should be a budget. His reading Elizabeth's passages the narrator just sounded fey and weak. The story is obviously gripping but it could have done with a few more voices. His female voice was awful and the Welsh/Irish accents... pretty awful too.

Great book. Patchy performance.
