Summary
Kronika niezwykłej potęgi dynastii Guccich i jej równie niezwykłego upadku。
W 1993 roku ta luksusowa marka znalazła się na skraju bankructwa， do czego przyczyniły się złe decyzje Maurizia Gucciego i jego zamiłowanie do ekstrawagancji。 Dwa lata później Maurizio został zastrzelony w drodze do biura。 Za zorganizowanie morderstwa skazano jego byłą żonę Patrizię Reggiani Martinelli。 Dostała 29 lat więzienia。
Czy Patrizia zleciła zabójstwo， ponieważ wydatki Maurizia wymknęły się spod kontroli？ Czy zrobiła to， ponieważ czarujący eks zamierzał poślubić swoją kochankę Paolę Franchi？ A może w ogóle tego nie zrobiła？
Historia Guccich to historia blichtru， przepychu i intryg， historia powstania， bliskiego upadku i późniejszego odrodzenia się modowej dynastii。 To wielkie nazwiska: Tom Ford， Sophia Loren， Jackie Kennedy Onassis， Domenico De Sole， Pierre Cardin， Chiara Mastroianni， Yves Saint Laurent。 To także stolice świata mody: Mediolan， Florencja， Nowy Jork i Paryż。 Sara Gay Forden pozwala zajrzeć za kulisy najsłynniejszego domu mody， pokazuje ukryte namiętności， potęgę oraz słabe punkty rodu Guccich。 To wartka opowieść o modzie， wielkich pieniądzach i rozdzierającej serce tragedii。
Uznana przez The Economist za jedną z najlepszych książek roku。

I feel like this could have been more interesting than it was。 I'm looking forward to seeing the dramatization in the movies！ I'm not huge into high fashion so a lot of the Gucci business stuff wasn't that intriguing to me and unfortunately took up the bulk of the book。 I felt like the murder and trial were glossed over in a rush at the end。 So overall， the pacing just felt off。 But I can tell it was well researched。 I feel like this could have been more interesting than it was。 I'm looking forward to seeing the dramatization in the movies！ I'm not huge into high fashion so a lot of the Gucci business stuff wasn't that intriguing to me and unfortunately took up the bulk of the book。 I felt like the murder and trial were glossed over in a rush at the end。 So overall， the pacing just felt off。 But I can tell it was well researched。 。。。more

Couldn’t get into this/struggled with keeping my attention。 There’s a lot of family backstory， but the minutiae of it all is just so boring。 Paused to take a call and couldn’t bring myself to start it back up again。 I found the accents that are sprinkled throughout the audiobook to be kind of jarring。 Stopped: 4:05:09， 25% （ch。 7）

Rating 3。5。 This book took me a long time to finish。 Very interesting reading about the rise & fall of Gucci， family disagreements about the vision of the company， and the story of Mauricio’s Murder。 But It could have condensed some of the business dealings。 Those seemed to drag it down。 Looking forward to the movie。

Not as sensational as expected。 The information encompassing the Gucci family and the murder of Maurizio is quite fascinating， but sadly this only makes up a small portion of the book。 Forden goes into great technical detail about the Gucci business and while she has clearly done an extensive amount of research on this topic， it covers material such as corporate takeovers and stocks which didn't particularly interest me。 The larger than life personalities of the individuals involved helped to ke Not as sensational as expected。 The information encompassing the Gucci family and the murder of Maurizio is quite fascinating， but sadly this only makes up a small portion of the book。 Forden goes into great technical detail about the Gucci business and while she has clearly done an extensive amount of research on this topic， it covers material such as corporate takeovers and stocks which didn't particularly interest me。 The larger than life personalities of the individuals involved helped to keep me engaged and should make for an enjoyable film adaptation。 。。。more

I have struggled to understand if the author wanted to write the book about the Gucci family or the business。 And I think she tried both and this the reason why book was not as enjoyable as it could have been。To start I loved the story how Guccio Gucci started the company and how he engaged his sons to take over and how they did。 Less enjoyable part and I thinl was too long is about Mauricio's manipulations and all this financial services business。If the book was to tell family's story， I am won I have struggled to understand if the author wanted to write the book about the Gucci family or the business。 And I think she tried both and this the reason why book was not as enjoyable as it could have been。To start I loved the story how Guccio Gucci started the company and how he engaged his sons to take over and how they did。 Less enjoyable part and I thinl was too long is about Mauricio's manipulations and all this financial services business。If the book was to tell family's story， I am wondering why are there long stories about how Tom Ford was successful。 And aftermath of Gucci firm once family was cut out。All said pretty good read， but unclear what author wanted to achieve。 However I want to seea film with Lady Gaga about all this。 。。。more

16 hours of audiobook and this read as sensational as an Annual Report。 Sigh。 Hoping the movie is better。

Despite what you’d expect with a bullet hole on the cover and the promise of it being “a true story of murder， madness， glamour and greed” readers are instead given a lot of corporate information wrapped in members of the Gucci dynasty throwing things at each other。 It’s a fascinating read， but you will inevitably learn too much about various corporate mergers that lead to Gucci becoming a household name。

4。5 ⭐️ If you are wanting to read this book because you’re into murder mysteries， don’t。 If you’re wanting to read this book because you’re into fashion history， business， with a little bit of family drama， do it！ Being that I was a business minor in college， I found this read really interesting！ However， if you’re not into business or fashion， this read will probably be a boring one for you。 It is obvious that the author did A LOT of research in order to write this book。 It is packed full of in 4。5 ⭐️ If you are wanting to read this book because you’re into murder mysteries， don’t。 If you’re wanting to read this book because you’re into fashion history， business， with a little bit of family drama， do it！ Being that I was a business minor in college， I found this read really interesting！ However， if you’re not into business or fashion， this read will probably be a boring one for you。 It is obvious that the author did A LOT of research in order to write this book。 It is packed full of information！ There is a lot to learn while reading this book。The craziness of the Gucci family was the cherry on top！ They truly were wild。 。。。more

This was so good！ There is a lot of detail on the company （ins and outs， bringing in talent， IPO， transfers of shares， sales of shares， takeovers， etc。） and background on every single person that enters the story from childhood to adulthood。 I found all of it incredibly interesting and devoured all of it。 If you only want to read about the murder this is not the book for you。 It is so much more than just that。 So worth it！ So so worth it！

I didn't like the writing style or poor editing。 That being said， it is an interesting story if you can get past the extremely slow start。 I didn't like the writing style or poor editing。 That being said， it is an interesting story if you can get past the extremely slow start。 。。。more

The problem with this book is that it is way too long… If you took out the third of the information it would be better。 Some chapters were so dragged out that it was boring… Other than that I actually quite enjoyed learning more about Gucci’s history and how it progressed。 I enjoyed the little secrets behind their decisions and to learn a bit the process of making products…

Title is a bit misleading， this is more about the history of Gucci and less about the murder of Maurizio Gucci。

Read about 1/3。 Starts out fine but to me gets bogged down in intricate business details。 Way more than I want to know about these crazy people。 But I will check out the movie。

This book really seemed to lack focus。 The subtitle involves murder， madness， glamour， and greed。 Yes， all of those do exist， but this really more is a look at the history of the Gucci company with the subtitle topics being little sidesets。 I really wish Forden would have or will write a book on designer Tom Ford as he really took over the story。 I enjoyed the history of the company and this is the classic story of the heirs enjoy the life the company brings but don't appreciate the business。 This book really seemed to lack focus。 The subtitle involves murder， madness， glamour， and greed。 Yes， all of those do exist， but this really more is a look at the history of the Gucci company with the subtitle topics being little sidesets。 I really wish Forden would have or will write a book on designer Tom Ford as he really took over the story。 I enjoyed the history of the company and this is the classic story of the heirs enjoy the life the company brings but don't appreciate the business。 。。。more

The true story of the Gucci family dynasty complete with scandals and murder。 This book covers the entire history of the family and the company from its humble beginnings through present day。 If you want to read something that gives you the most detailed version of a family history then you should probably pick this one up。 The synopsis promised details about the murder of Maurizio Gucci and how his wife， Patrizia， was most likely to blame， but you have to read so much of the history behind the The true story of the Gucci family dynasty complete with scandals and murder。 This book covers the entire history of the family and the company from its humble beginnings through present day。 If you want to read something that gives you the most detailed version of a family history then you should probably pick this one up。 The synopsis promised details about the murder of Maurizio Gucci and how his wife， Patrizia， was most likely to blame， but you have to read so much of the history behind the business to even get to the juicy part。 For me， this was a tedious adventure which ended up in me mostly skimming through it to wrap it up。 Knowing what I do now， I would still be interested to see the movie adaptation。Thanks so much to William Morrow for the complimentary copy！ 。。。more

The House of Gucci starts off with the murder of Maurizio Gucci， heir to the fashion dynasty。 Then it takes you back to the beginning， delving into the history of the Gucci name and the rise of the company。 The book is very dense with history about the Gucci family。 It was incredibly well-researched， and certainly interesting to read about the family drama that came with running a powerful fashion brand。 As someone who loves true crime， my favorite parts were the beginning and end — the parts th The House of Gucci starts off with the murder of Maurizio Gucci， heir to the fashion dynasty。 Then it takes you back to the beginning， delving into the history of the Gucci name and the rise of the company。 The book is very dense with history about the Gucci family。 It was incredibly well-researched， and certainly interesting to read about the family drama that came with running a powerful fashion brand。 As someone who loves true crime， my favorite parts were the beginning and end — the parts that discussed the murder and the arrests/trial。 If you are interested in fashion/history with a hint of true crime， this is the book for you！ 。。。more

DNF'ed about 100 pages to the end， after quite a bit of skimming。 You'd expect a murder book that's being made into a film starring Adam fucking Driver （yummy） to be a bit， I dunno， sexier and more thrilling， but this was such a snooze。 DNF'ed about 100 pages to the end， after quite a bit of skimming。 You'd expect a murder book that's being made into a film starring Adam fucking Driver （yummy） to be a bit， I dunno， sexier and more thrilling， but this was such a snooze。 。。。more

A true， sensational account of the Gucci family that reads like lifestyles of the rich and famous on steroids。 What I found most interesting， however， was the financial and marketing strategies that took this family brand from near bankruptcy to a luxury brand dynasty。

I think after reading amazing investigative reporting books like BAD BLOOD & EMPIRE OF PAIN， I am *spoiled*。 This was not engaging whatsoever and it was super long and had nothing really to do with the murder of Maurizio by a hitman hired by his ex-wife！！ Like， what？！ How did this book end up being so boring and about shareholders and management？！ I’m here for the fashion and glamour and MURDER！Skip this and go watch Gaga in the movie instead。

A little too much detailI do love books about the fashion world and about the building of a brand。 This book also has a lot family drama and of course， murder。 Unfortunately， the book is so long winded and full of minute too many minute details that I found it incredibly boring。 Maybe someone who likes the details of every aspect of the operations and creations of Gucci will find this interesting but， for me it was just meh

Very well-written account of the drama behind the famous fashion house。 Many details about the business and the background of the founders provide depth to the story。 I look forward to seeing the movie！
