I Don't Know Who This Book Is Written For

Revisado: 07-02-15

What would have made Leni better?

Different narrator, better audio production, better book

What was most disappointing about Steven Bach’s story?

This book is really strange because if you are a fan of Leni's films it doesn't talk much about them, if you are a fan of the women it definitely paints her in a (deservedly) bad light, If you are a fan of a story of a driven woman succeeding in a business and time when women didn't/ couldn't do that this story will disappoint.

I read this in a class and one fellow student summarized a missed chapter perfectly with "lemme guess, Leni is mean to a bunch of people, she raises her stock by sleeping with someone, she uses her connection to Hitler to get what she wants THE END." We read the chapter and that was basically what happened! Leni is not a person I want to read about and even the interesting content about post WWI Germany that continues through the fall of the Third Reich couldn't save this book for me.

Terrible main character aside the author tries to hard to make every sentence sound like shakespeare and it comes off as arrogant and it sometimes makes facts hard to completely digest. All in all this book was hard to read and I can't think of who this book was written for.

Would you be willing to try another one of Henrietta Tiefenthaler’s performances?

No...just...no.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Leni?

That's very hard because as much as I did not like the book I could see that maybe someone might. I think everything in there is required material to paint the picture the author is trying to show.

Any additional comments?

I don't want to seem like just some angry reviewer but honestly this book was hated by everyone I knew who read it and I would not recommend it to anyone.
