I would not recommend this biography. There are other, better written, more in-depth biographies on Gordon Lightfoot than this work.
I liked the more Canadian-focus this work had, the time spent of the coffeehouse era, the photographs included (and that they were on regular paper, not glossy).
I didn't like the way it was written: the terse prose, the indecisiveness of the author whether to portray Lightfoot as fallible or infallible... etc.
The writing in this was subpar. Many sentences either didn't make complete grammatical sense and read sentence by sentence rather than flowing together to create a story; this lead to several instances of inanity and repetition.
