It chronicles how he would be late paying his faithful workers, behind on bills, and suddenly he would order 3 grand pianos because they would be the perfect touch to the home.Kammy Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17074359219339426626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137365445948746115.post-84355522720751339432008-06-02T20:13:00.000-07:002008-06-02T20:13:00.000-07:00hi kammyi heard that this was a not-great book fro...hi kammy<BR/><BR/>i heard that this was a not-great book from someone else and so i didn't read it. HOWEVER, i did just tour Taliesen West, his workshop/winter-campsite/home here in Scottsdale. And I was struck by how selfish and petty HE was. I just have no use for a genius who is this self-absorbed. It seemed like it was "right" if he liked it, and it had to be his way to be "right."Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14709481093467771246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137365445948746115.post-50341737353327483032008-05-31T11:06:00.000-07:002008-05-31T11:06:00.000-07:00I think, bottom line, the thing that bugged me abo...I think, bottom line, the thing that bugged me about this book is how SELFISH Mamah was. I don't think there is any other way to describe her. The book is a very interesting story, so I enjoyed parts of it. Then the ending was so tragic, it kind of soured me on the whole thing.Kammy Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17074359219339426626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137365445948746115.post-26482588785957493212008-05-30T23:24:00.000-07:002008-05-30T23:24:00.000-07:00I don't, Kammy.

So, really, you think I should read it? Maybe I'll just have to be strong and not let it get me down. : )Kim P.

My mom's friend grew up in a FLW house in Provo, and I'm wondering if he built it? Do you know anything about that?Kammy Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17074359219339426626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137365445948746115.post-89258704504560017692008-05-28T20:15:00.000-07:002008-05-28T20:15:00.000-07:00I love the honest way you review books.
