The first part of this story, Hedy's life in Austria being courted by and then married to a fantastically wealthy arms dealer, is quite compelling and engaging. You come to understand why she put up with being maltreated and decided to escape. The second part of the story, Hedy's life in Hollywood, is much less developed - as if the author ran out of energy and wanted to end the book as soon as possible. In addition, the author didn't bother to drop clues into the first half of the story that would make later events relating to Hedy's inventions more believable. SO, it's a great topic and only partly successful.
