Book Reviews of Eva Peron: First Lady of the People (Fact Finders Biographies: Great Hispanics)
Book Review: "Eva Peron: First Lady of the People" is a Brief, Uncomplicated Biography for the Young Reader.
Summary: 3 Stars
This curious item is a basic, straight-forward biography of Argentina's Eva Duarte Peron. It is targetted for the young reader and it's an illustrated (photos), easy to read hard-cover narrative with some interesting pictures.
The only minor complaints I had with the book was that the author kept referring to Eva as "Peron" and at times, I got confused since Eva is usually referred to as "Eva" and/or "Evita". And let's remember that when Eva arrived in Buenos Aires in 1935 at the age of 15, she was Eva Duarte; a thin, ambitious brunette and not Eva Peron, the glamorous blonde beauty of a decade later. The pictures were also a bit of a let down since some were inferior reproductions and hardly any pictures of Eva's artistic period are displayed. They do include a glossy, air-brushed studio portrait of Norma Shearer.(??)
Still this book is interesting enough to keep the young reader intrigued. Who would have thought that a controversial woman like Eva Peron would be given such an admirable, G-rated retelling of her amazing and all too brief life?
3 stars for the effort but it could have been much better.
