    Rambling conversation
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2013*

I honestly would prefer to give this 2 stars but I can't go quite as far as saying "I don't like it". It's...okay.It is poorly written - poor structure and jumping around the timeline randomly and without warning. It also reads less like a book and more like the transcript from a conversation with someone who says whatever he remembers as he remembers it, even if it isn't relevant to the part of the story he was just talking about.I think also that the author is trying to be diplomatic, just in case Athina one day favours him again. He doesn't really seem to know what to say about these people. But there is info that you can infer (and that's why it's OK not completely disliked). For example, he says over and over that Thierry, Athina's father, fought for years to protect Athina's right to manage her own money, then reveals how Thierry, having brought up Athina to be very dependent and not particularly educated or informed, tricked and emotionally blackmailed her into giving him control of her money. Thierry is a supposedly good papa but he tricks Alexis into tricking Athina into giving Thierry almost $100 million for being a father. Thierry moves all of Athina's money into bank accounts she cannot access but she is a bad daughter for suing him to get access and the reason she lost the case is because she legally gave her dad control of her money...but oh, the only reason she signed her rights away is because her father bullied and tricked her into it...but oh, she wouldn't have sued her father if her husband wasn't manipulating her.So, as I said, I can't dislike or hate it because there's a lot of info I didn't know before. I also like that he doesn't pick a side - after all, Thierry's control of Athina's money is likely as complicated as all that. But it could have been written in some logical flow - chronological order, by incident, something! It is also very repetitive.Finally, there is a lot of tell not show. The author insists that he and Athina were close but doesn't tell anecdotes showing it. A polite two sentence thank you letter from Athina for a gift he sent to her via her father's secretary or whatever, isn't proof of anything. He does say that they vacationed together but up to where I read, he hasn't given any details. I don't need to know every detail about her private life but a couple of cute anecdotes would have been nice.Disclaimer - I quit reading 25% properly in. It is just too difficult to read. I just skimmed through the rest.

    One of the best celebrity biographies
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2014*

One of the best celebrity biographies. A mine of information about the Onassis heiress.As an expat living in Greece where the Onassis family has an almost legendary status I wanted to learn more about the secretive last heir of the famous shipping dynasty. Alexis Mantheakis, the author of this biography, is well known in Greece for his association with the heiress, her father and the family, while numerous prime time news broadcasts have shown him at her side in Athens, in Ibiza, on yachts, as well as at weddings with Athina the immediate family. He writes with candour about her father Thierry Roussel, seen by many as a gold digger and about her husband Doda de Miranda. I too wondered what her life was like and what really took place behind the public facade of the shy heiress seen in the media blitzes everywhere she appeared. This insider book recounts a wide variety of incidents, some frightening, such as the kidnap scare in 1997 in Switzerland, as well as amusing chapters about her grandfather`s drunken antics, and there are accounts of obsessive admirers such as the love-struck Petros, a sixty year old suitor who repeatedly invades Athina`s Swiss villas and her Paris apartment in an attempt to present himself as a potential and highly suitable husband.The book has a wealth of information about the Onassis and Roussel families, revealing carefully kept Onassis family secrets such as the kidnapping by a Turkish officer and disappearance of a 12 year old Onassis girl in Asia Minor, and the lifelong search for her by an uncle of Athina. His journey comes to an end with an unexpected twist. Along with the daily life of the heiress that the aurthor recounts from his presence at the various Roussel family homes and on his travels with them as a family guest, there are accounts of the huge Onassis fortune battle court cases and the intrigues behind them; a legal struggle that took place between Athina`s father and four Onassis Foundation Greeks, all former Onassis executives who fought long and hard against the French former playboy. Along with descriptions of visits to Scorpios, the off limits private Onassis island , Mantheakis attends birthday parties and private dinners at the Ibiza mansion where he is a house guest.The author includes anecdotal stories about Onassis youthful high jinks and a chapter at the end of the book regarding the question of whether there is in fact an Onassis curse on the money that accompanies the name.The length of the victim list is chilling as are the circumstances of their deaths. It remains for the reader to decide whether the tragedies are merely coincidence or if the curse does go hand in hand with the fortune that young Athina Onassis has inherited. All in all a book that for me at least answered many questions, was very interesting and well written. I recommend it to other readers.

Ok for a whatever happened to-not really about Athina much, though.Tons of the court battle, so if you like that you’ll love this.
