Written like a psychophantic school girl; not nearly enough substance. I really had high hopes for this. 3 of my favorite artists. What a shame.9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. It was given to meBy John TosteKnowing my enjoyment of the artists profiled in this book; a dear friend bought it for me on her recent trip to England. I havent the heart to tell her how bad it is.Its poorly written; tawdry and factually incorrect. How this senstionalist author gets books published is a mystery to me. I shall certainly never read another.6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. How does this author get published??By S. CeleskeyOne star is too high a rating for this poorly written and researched book. After reading it; I know why stacks of this book ended up in used book stores for less than $6. (Even that is too high a price to pay for it. I feel bad for those who bought it for 17 pounds.) The writer does not have even a basic understanding of his subjects or the era they lived and worked in. He does not even seem to understand family or basic work relationship dynamics. Brets sole purpose is to put his tabloid writing skills into a book. It is a shame that these three great artists were chosen by Bret to be victimzied by him. They all deserve much better than this writer gives them. Do not waste your time buying or reading this book.
