Disappointing. More than half the book is devoted to plot summaries of Kelly's movies. Some good background on her life and style, but I expected more. Mann's book on Elizabeth Taylor - How to be a Movie Star- was much better.

I did make it all the way through this, but I wasn't impressed. About 80% of the book is devoted to Kelly's Hollywood career, despite the fact that it was a only a tiny piece of her life, and her life after marriage is glossed over quickly. The Hollywood section isn't actually that interesting either - there's a lot of details of movie plots with little behind the scenes detail and nearly none of her life outside of her onscreen appearances. The author appears to have been a friend of Kelly's and as such there is no criticism or analysis here, and the book reads like an expanded celebrity puff piece. I wasn't expecting salacious gossip, but no one has a life so free from conflict or fault. Not what I was hoping for in a biography. ( )

This was not a great bio. Seemed very rushed and skipped over parts. Ended abruptly. She was an amazing woman and deserved a better biography. I recommend skipping this and finding another book on Kelly. ( )

I admire Grace Kelly and like learning about her personal life, but all the details of everything she has ever acted in is a real bore. This is a lightweight biography. ( )

Well written and factual account of the life of Grace Kelly and the movies she starred in. Unlike True Grace, High Society leads one to believe that Grace did marry for love, but that she did suffer from bouts of melancholy at times. Donald Spoto was a personal friend of the princess and treats her with respect. ( )
