Book Reviews of Chasing Rubi: The Truth About Porfirio Rubirosa the Last Playboy
Book Review: read it and discuss with your book club AMAZING!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow! This story is an amazing tale about a true life playboy. Influencing political leaders, FBI tagging his tale trying to figure out how he got the MOST POWERFUL AND RICH WOMEN IN THE WORLD to marry him, while sustaining his affairs with famous actresses. Menus carrying dishes named after him referring to a specific body part is pretty impressive. The fact that most people are not aware of this man's story is appalling. I hope Oliver Stone makes this his next project because as I was reading this book that I couldn't put down, I couldn't help visualizing this character on the silver screen. It's a biography of a true life fantasy. A man's man, a woman's dream, FBI files revealed, interviews, photos, and a sad ending!! What more can you ask for...oh, yeah, it's a TRUE STORY!! Bring it to your local book club, I'm sure you'll have commentary for weeks!!
