I picked this up at a used bookstore, not from any feelings about Martha Stewart one way or the other, but because it's fascinating to me how someone (especially a woman who comes from working class roots) achieves success and power. I have never watched one of her shows or read one of her books. While she was teaching women how to be all la di da in the eighties and nineties, I was doing the ordinary, down to earth homemaking, cooking, baking, decorating and raising kids in my own way. I never found Martha's over the top ways at all appealing, so just tuned her out. When she went to prison over insider trading, I felt like she had been picked on for being a woman. But after reading this biography using countless interviews and quotes from people close to her, I am thinking she did okay for someone who has made her fortune through cheating others, lying, breaking contracts, intimidating and abusing employees, and all the other stuff that apparently went on behind the pretty, smiling face. I gave it only 3 stars because altho it was a juicy read, it was just too much. I got so tired of hearing about this woman. What a sicko. What a con artist. I am sure she deserved much more than her year in white-collar prison, and I'm convinced that anything bad that happens to her in the twilight years of her life (she turned 70 this year) will not even be close to the punishment that she deserves. By the time I was done with this book I kept thinking of another one on my to-read list -- The Sociopath Next Door.
