It did not flow smoothly, since it was a compilation of snippets from diaries, interviews, letters, newspaper articles, and other sources. The "cast of characters" was at the very end and would have been more helpful at the beginning of the book. All negative wordsn aside, it was a fascinating family saga.

I got caught up in the story and letters concerning the Baekeland's dysfunctional (that word is much too lenient) family .... goes to show crazy and depravity can be in any family no matter how much money they have.

The one MAJOR negative I had concerning the book was that all the characters should have been listed in front of the book instead of in the back .... I had no idea who the characters were until I had finished reading the book and saw them listed in the back.

I have the movie on the way from Netflix .... going to see how much the movie coincides with the book.
