The Only Woman in the Room

3 stars

I read The Only Woman in the Room after my daughter read it and passed it along to me.  She did a school presentation on the book and Hedy Lamarr that she will show me now that I've finished it.

The subject: fascinating.  I was barely familiar with Hedy Lamarr and her inventions and I definitely want to know more.

This particular book: meh.  I was left wanting more information and there were gaps glossed over that seem like big deals.  It's tough because it's not like I think the book should've been longer and there was a big time period to cover but I don't feel like I came away from the book with much more knowledge than I started with.

So I like the book for intriguing me to learn more but I think I'll stick to non-fiction as I continue to learn about her.
