Really rather good. Blythe uses the mid-20th century psychological approach to Caroline Lamb and Byron, which may be too dated for some readers. Nowadays, they would be more likely to be diagnosed with manic depression or sexual trauma. Still, the book documents the ups and downs of their short (not sweet) relationship, the fake emotions and the very real ones underneath, as well as the jaded manipulators on the sidelines, toying with the lovers for their own amusement.

Good book but don't like how the author keeps trying to excuse these two VERY wicked Narcissists.

A "National Inquirer" bio, full of half truths and innuendo.
