I read this book mostly on my lunch breaks at work and it took me forever to finish. I never knew or cared much about Katharine Hepburn, so I’m not exactly sure why I wanted to read it. It was mostly the story of a biographer’s friendship with Kate and some obligatory biography nonsense thrown (and I do mean THROWN) in. The only entertaining parts were those dealing with the present and Berg’s relationship with Kate. I think the book would have been less of a dry read if it didn’t try to retell her life.

All in all it was an interesting experience, but I can’t say I completely enjoyed it.
