OK, first of all, this book is NOT about Grace Kelly and her bridesmaids. Considering the title, I thought it would be and, seeing how I like a biography every now and then, I decided to read it. It is actually the autobiography of Judy Balaban. And my guess is Judy sat with her Thesaurus as she was writing. Now I'm fairly articulate and I have a decent vocabulary, but I had my dictionary (seriously) at hand as I read this. I'm sure Judy intended to sound intellectual, but to me she sounded pretentious. If you're looking to get any insight into Grace Kelly, forget it. But if you want to know about all the famous people Judy Balaban knows or about her and her husband's Karate Association , then this is the book for you.
