3.0 out of 5 stars
Well written, but not terribly deep,
By A Customer
This review is from: Squandered Fortune (Hardcover)
Gubernick has written a very concise biography of Huntingdon Hartford, the heir to the A&P fortune. A man who had it all and squandered it. The prose is lively and the story is interesting, but one wishes the author had spent more time getting us inside Hartford's head. The result is that we learn a great deal about WHAT he did, but very little about WHY he did it. Not a bad book to kill an afternoon with but nonetheless a book that falls short of its potential.
