Jim Henson: The Biography

Rating: 4 of 5
My response to and rating of Jim Henson: The Biography was far more subjective and biased than any other book in recent memory. I suspect many people interested in reading this biography would be in the same boat.
While Jones presented a comprehensive chronological narrative, at times the writing was rather dry. I guess since Henson's biggest priority was work, it made sense that the focus of the biography was on the business side of his life.
Highly recommended to all fans of Henson's work.

"When I was young," wrote Jim, "my ambition was to be one of the people who makes a difference in this world. My hope still is to leave this world a little bit better for my being there."
And he did (p. 490).
Highly recommended to all fans of Henson's work.
