Astonishing, meaningful, heart-wrenching

When I was a student of political science, I had a professor who read to us letters home from the war front. He had a collection of pieces from lots of different countries, but messages were remarkably the same - human beings caught up in situations and conflict far beyond their making and often ...

The Way It's Never Been Done Before: My Friendship with Marlon Brando 15 reviews George Englund
HarperEntertainment, 2004
A fantastic read
+ Touching, but only a partial portrait + Intriguing, Enriching... but Sometimes Too Much
The problem with biographies of Marlon Brando, and celebrities in general, is that they are often written by an outsider, someone who had little or no personal acquaintance with the subject and is sometimes just out to cash in on their celebrity. It is these problems with most biographies that ...

Gotham, 2004
Enjoy the Journey
+ Who cast the love spell? + Insightful and interesting, but not without fault...
Sometimes you wish for something or someone and they appear and then you find out it is not all it was meant to be. Better sooner that later, we all hope, but whichever way, this book confirms that you are in a middle of a long process. A long one, but not one you should see as boring or bad. ...

The King and I: The Uncensored Tale of Luciano Pavarotti's Rise to Fame by His Manager, Friend and Sometime ... 17 reviews Herbert Breslin, Anne Midgette
Doubleday, 2004
TALENT AND CHARACTER IN UNEQUAL MEASURE
This would be a five-star review if it were not for a couple of revelations about the tenor which are the result of mean-spiritedness masquerading as honest intimacy. By contrast, Pavorotti's dignified response at the end of the book causes me to wonder if he read it thoroughly. Otherwise, the ...
