lizflynn 's review for:
The Lady from the Black Lagoon
by Mallory O'Meara
I thoroughly enjoyed this interesting biography about a fascinating lady. Milicent Patrick led such an interesting life, and O’Meara did a great job bringing her accomplishments and little-known career to light. Some reviews criticize the book for going on long tangents, and I do agree with that. While I love history and I enjoyed learning more about Milicent’s father and Hollywood history, I feel like a lot of that information was added in as filler because not enough information was available about Milicent. I do also feel that O’Meara made some assumptions about certain people and their feelings through a modern-day lens, which I found entertaining but at times kind of inappropriate for a biography. Besides that, I learned a lot and I enjoyed the audiobook version read by O’Meara!
