Reviews

[Jack · Rating 2 out of 5]

Admittedly I did speed read this as part of my dissertation process but still, I do not think it was a particularly good book/biography at all.

Whilst talking about the authors own conversations with the subject was a nice touch, I felt the constant chopping and changing between events and conversations was jarring. Additionally I believe this book simply didn’t have enough detail. It felt lightweight and incomplete.

That is the reason for my rating.
