If you're a fan of the film "Mildred Pierce," you'll be surprised by the book. No one gets murdered, and with few exceptions only the names of the characters haven't been changed. The plot unfolds in an entirely different fashion.

It is a good read and would make a good movie true to the book's plot. If some would-be movie writer or producer is reading this, get the book, read it, and make the real "Mildred Pierce." She's just as fascinating as the movie Mildred.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very Disappointed!, May 3, 2011

This review is from: Mildred Pierce (Hardcover)

I was very excited about receiving a copy of the original Mildred Pierce prior to the airing of the mini series on HBO. That is... until I received it. The book was musty, the pages brown and dry rotted and as I turned some pages, they fell out of the book. Needless to say, not a happy camper. Would not purchase from this seller again.
