As a non-fiction lover; I read a lot of cultural and social histories and this book ranks among the best of the genre.The book is filled with interesting stories about every aspect of diamonds. I was particularly taken with a few chapters. First; if you dont know about Jakob the Jeweler; the man that made millions selling to the Hip-Hop elite; skip straight to that chapter-- such a crazy story! But the sections of the book that dive deep into De Beers and their history are the best part: I ate up pages about their savvy marketing campaigns; their push to get diamond engagement rings to be the standard symbol of marriage proposals; and the battle they waged against lab-made diamonds.Bergstein has a way of making a book about glorified rocks shine brighter than the diamonds she writes about. Anyway; sorry for the gushing; I read a lot of bad non-fiction.PS - the book has great COLOR photos. Always a plus!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Interesting readBy Suzanne E.
