Summary: A Son's Eloquent Tribute to His Elegant Mother
Comment: I've loved Audrey Hepburn for as long as I've been going to the movies. It started with "Breakfast at Tiffany's," and my respect, affection and esteem for this wonderful screen icon hasn't lessened a bit to this day. Since she died, I've accumulated at least four biographies, tributes to her style, and anything else I could find. I've got an Audrey Hepburn shrine in my apartment, and as long as they keep pubishing books about her, I'll continue to collect them.
How lovely for Sean Ferrer to present this heart-felt tribute to his mother. It comes with none of the bitterness other children of Hollywood stars. You won't find an ounce of scandal here (just as you won't in any other book published about Audrey).
The books comes packed with lots of photos, many which have not been seen in other books. It's clear that Ferrer adored his mother. He has spotted in his mother a quality of sadness that I didn't think about before. And he's absolutely right. For all her gamine beauty, her ability to wear clothes so effortlessly, that radiant presence with her cultivated voice that on anyone else might sound hopelessly affected, Hepburn projected a kind of sadness. You wanted to protect her. Sean Ferrer captures that essence in his book.
So run to your bookstore and snap this beautiful book up. It's for a good cause--Sean Ferrer is donating much of the proceeds of the book (or maybe all the proceeds to UN Children's charities in the name of his mother). It's a great stocking-stuffer you'll want to browse through after you've watch one of Audrey's many and unforgettable films.

Summary: An Elegant Story!
Comment: I felt incredibly inspired after reading this book. I read it from cover to cover in one afternoon and thoroughly enjoyed it. I'd seen most of Audrey Hepburn's movies in the past but never knew the true story of her life. Now, after reading her son's narrative, I completely understand why millions of fans around the world want to emulate Audrey in both style and persona. She was the epitome of grace, beauty, and elegance - not only in fashion but in how she treated others throughout her life despite any disappointments or setbacks that she faced. She truly touched people's lives, especially with her involvement in UNICEF.
The family photos and mementos were my favorite part of the book! The intimate shots with her husband and children really draw you in and make you want to learn everything there is to know about her. I only wish there were more people like Audrey in the world to inspire us today.
If you love Audrey Hepburn, you'll love this book. If you know nothing about her, you'll still love this book. And when you're finished, it makes a fabulous coffee table book. My friends can't put it down.

Summary: An Elegant Spirit - indeed
Comment: Too bad there are not more people in the world like Audrey. There will never be another. The most beautiful women in the world, and the reason is because she was even more beautiful inside. A terrific read. Tells more about her UNICEF work. Loved the book - the pictures are wonderful. This book is much like Audrey, a beautiful cover on the outside and the contents are wonderful with beautiful pictures and a beautiful story. This is one book I plan to keep always. Other books I give to others to read, or trade them at a half price book store, but this one is a keeper.
