Vincent Price

Very good Price

Written by his daughter I was pleased and a bit surprised on the depth of her research and the very candid and insightful story she relayed. A fine biographer
What a interesting man her father was.

Ugh... Four Chapters In

I’m an avid Price fan but I’m disappointed by the way this biography is crafted. I’m only four chapters in and am hoping it will get better, but so far I am very bored. Rather than being from Victoria’s own perspective, she speaks of her father’s family history and life experiences either omnisciently or by quoting his own autobiography, “I Like What I Know.” I would probably be able to get into the story more if Victoria herself had narrated this audiobook. But she didn’t. And so without being in her voice nor mostly from her perspective, I can’t give this more than two stars.

one of my favorites

I really was scared that 20 some hours was going to be alot to keep my attention but it was great I might have to replay the last 2 chapters as my head phones played a bit while I was away.

Fascinating

The audiobook starts off a little shaky. But after the glowing foreword, it really took off. Vincent Price was a fascinating character.

Great Actor but long and sometimes boring book.

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Only if they are a big fan as I am.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

His marriage to Coral Brown was very interesting I hate it that she kind of turned him into a jerk. His life in school, way to much info that no one cares about, really boring part.

Which scene was your favorite?

When the priest asked Vincent if Coral had any favorite Hymns and Vincent said "Yes, and a few hers also!"

What else would you have wanted to know about Victoria Price’s life?

I think it is all in here to be honest. Right down to what he wore around the house. Again, good book but way to much detail that no one cares about. Just tell me about the man not what he had for lunch.

Any additional comments?

He was a complicated man who wanted to be liked very much. I think many of us love his work and him but he also had a dark side that I am sure was very hard for his kids to live/deal with and I am sad he could not be a more loving father. It's is also very sad that he let Coral come between his children and himself.

A wonderful surprise

I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this book. Victoria Price did a top-notch job of research and brought out splendid bits of unknown history for all of us to enjoy. I loved Vincent for his campy and humorous portrayals of villains and his good-looking charm, but now I love him for all those other unique qualities Victoria was able to present to us through her book. Thank you, Victoria Price.
