    Entertaining and enjoyable

    I knew nothing about Hedy Lamarr, the famous actress and wasn't too excited about reading it. However, once I opened the book, I couldn't put it down till I finished. It was an easy read.and very entertaining. Knowing that it was based on a true story was also a plus and I was able to share the story with my mother.

    History in a well written novel.

    I had heard the story about Hedy Lamar, and I was interested in reading about her. I'm glad I bought it because it was very well written and really held my interest.
