The Women: A Novel Audiobook

" YUCK! Horribly written story. "

" tells the story of 3 of Frank's women - leaving out his first wife. read this book after Loving Frank - which focuses on only his mistriss (N. Horan) - and it was difficult to get used to Boyle's devices. "

" Thank goodness for women's lib. "

" Disappointing. I still think he's a good writer, but I didn't like the way the book was structured. "

" pretty good read...and interesting. i knew next to nothing about Wright before this. "

" The Women is historical fiction at its best. The story, narrated by a Japanese apprentice, relates the four marriages of famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Based on actual events, the author unravels the story backward in time, with each woman encroaching on the life of her predecessor. Wright was a great architect but a terrible husband. His choice of women and his flaunting of the morals and traditions of his day make this a fascinating and entertaining read. "

" way to long!!! "

" This novel covers three relationships in Frank Lloyd Wright's life starting with his third wife and working backward to the woman he left his first wife for. I did not enjoy this book as much as Loving Frank. It was slower going for me and none of the characters were particularly likable. "

" 3 stars. I liked it. I didn't care for the other inwhich Boyle tells the stories but overall it was a nice followup to Loving Frank by Nancy Horan! "

" After reading Loving Frank, this was long and drawn out. Did not like the narrator's voice - didn't ring true - would have rather it just have been told as a story without his interjections. But it did give some more background into an intersting life "

" I had *no* idea that Frank Lloyd Wright's life was so scandalous. I feel like a bit of a failure as a Wisconsinite. ;) "

" A look at the lives and tribulations of Frank Lloyd Wright's different "wives" and his wreck of a life. His life is like a bad reality TV show that you just can't stop watching, I am addicted. "

" Well, Frank Lloyd Wright was clearly insane. So were the women in his life. I didn't so much enjoy the author's writing style. He tended to belabor things a little beyond what I could tolerate. "

" Okay, so I didn't really finish it, but I don't intend to so it goes in the 'read' file. It was hard to read about the constant dysfunction of architect Frank Lloyd Wright and the women in his life. I guess I wasn't in the mood for that kind of story because it felt like it might never end. "

" As with Road to Wellville and The Inner Circle, Boyle take facts and other biographical information and creates a fictionalized account of the life of Frank Lloyd Wright. Fascinating and filled with little bits and factoids that make me want to know more. "

" Really enjoyed reading about all of Wright's mistresses, but I think having read Loving Frank before this spoiled the ending for me. Also, the author has a lot of footnotes that I personally feel I have to read and then it seemed to break the flow of the story. Overall enjoyable though. "

" I read this right after "Loving Frank." It was interesting although I could not understand why he chose to do the chronology in reverse. After these two books I knew more about Frank Lloyd Wright than I will ever need to know. "

" Wow...this one took me a LONG time to get through. Very interesting portrayal of architect Frank Lloyd Wright and the stories of the many women in his life. The footnotes on nearly every page just about drove me crazy, but a worthwhile read. "

" 4.5 stars. If you love Frank Lloyd Wright, then you love this book. Some reviewers more aqcuainted with his life didn't seem to like it that much; but I didn't know much about his personal life and thoughroughly enjoyed reading it. I want more now. More FLW. "

" I was a little disappointed with this book. Frank Lloyd Wright was such an eccentric character that needed little embellishment of his life and loves....clearly good material for a historical novel from the viewpoint of the women in his life. Yet this book barely kept my attention. "

" Not one of my favorites :( "

" Hated every character in this book. Frank Lloyd Wright was a truly rotten human being who was attracted to very strange women. It's a strange book in that events are out of order. Couldn't wait to finish this and be done with it. "

" T. C. Boyle didn't disappoint. If anyone read "Loving Frank" about Frank Lloyd Wright's ill-fated lover, this book has more detail about the other women in his life. A fictionalized account of the architect's love life and character, this book was a great read. "

" I had no idea how dark and sad the life of Wright was nor how he managed his relationships with women. I loved this book in a dark and stormy way. "

" I'm trying to be invested, but the narrator hasn't convinced me this is 100% worth it yet. "

" I liked "Loving Frank" so much I wanted more. It's the story of Frank Lloyd Wright and the women in his life as told by one of his apprentices. In my eyes, this one is nothing compared to "Loving Frank." "

" I expected more about architecture, but it seems like most people are as literary as he is.I found the story too soap-like.The story was interestingly fragmented though. "

" The women in Frank Lloyd Wright's life. Interesting but nothing special "

" This is the fictional story of the women in Frank Lloyd Wright's life. Aside from the narrator, none of the characters are really likable. I did enjoy it, but not as much as I normally enjoy T.C. Boyle. "

" I wanted to like this book more than I did. I liked the Tortilla Curtain so much, and I am such a big fan of Frank Lloyd Wright. I do look forward to reading others by this author, though. "

" Very funny and fascinating like all books written by Boyle that I have read. "

" I liked this better than Loving Frank by Horan "
