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.

Despite the dreadful staccato narrator and his unintentionally hilarious accents (Irish instead of Welsh, an Australian accent that made me laugh out loud in the street on my dog walk and a very camp-sounding ET), dreadful pronunciation of place names, the book needing a good edit to cut out all the times it repeats itself, and the SHEER NUMBER of times the word “beautiful” is used to describe ET. Despite all that, it’s a fascinating read (listen, rather) of an intense and turbulent and glamorous relationship. It’s clearly well researched - although as it was written whilst ET was still alive, and in collaboration with her, so I suspect some of her story may have been somewhat sanitised in its portrayal and not quite as “warts and all” as Richard’s. Enjoyable roller coaster of a book though…if you can get over the narrator. (His Richard Burton is good though oddly)

Great story, but poorly written and narrated

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 page Turner from the word go. A sublime audio book that takes you back in time when film stars were true icons.

absolutely brilliant

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

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.
