    <body><![CDATA[Reads like a romp--a quick, breezy, torrid look at Byron's rather active love life.  Don't read if you would like to hang onto a view of him as the dreamy romantic hero-poet, a cad maybe, but a dashing, charming, sensitive, misunderstood cad.  He sounds here like someone you would totally hate if yo...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/63361779">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[What begins as a charming dandy devolves into cynical monster and abuser of women. Edna O'Brien's biography skims through Byron's affairs with little contextual reference; it's not a book to begin to learn about Byron's life, certainly, but charming and lively in its way.
