Who is Texas Guinan - this book has no answers,
By Melissa (Colorado) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: "Hello, Sucker!": The Story of Texas Guinan (Hardcover)
I was excited to see a biography of Texas Guinan available. I love the period of the Roaring 20s, silent film and the characters that populated this fascinating era. I was hoping to get some insight into this woman who epitomized the times. This book, unfortunately, is nothing but a list of dates and occurances. As many times as Texas was married, I never learned of her husbands or her relationships with them. There is scant mention on her friendships and the dynamics of her relationships with the many famous and influential people she knew. In other words, there's no insight into what made Texas tick. Indeed, I came away not knowing Guinan at all. I ended up reading about 3/4 of the book (with great difficulty due to intense boredom) and at last skipping to the end. It was a frustrating waste of time and money.
