I expected more from this novel. I bought it after hearing rave reviews of the movie. The story line was slow and concentrated more on the financial history and business of the Gucci family rather than a “a true story of murder, madness, glamour and greed.” Unfortunately, I caught myself skimming to see how it ended.
