Reviews

[Tom · Rating 3 out of 5]

Establishment dry, like an old school professor reacting in as measured tones as possible to the booming youth culture surrounding him. It was published in 1965 after all. While not necessarily hoping or expecting sordid details about Joyce, his crimes, and his execution, a little more liveliness on the topic would have improved the experience, particularly in the last two chapters in which the author widely quotes from Joyce's letters to his wife. They reveal the same muddled thinking and prejudice as his actions.

[Jason Monaghan · Rating 4 out of 5]

A useful summary of Joyce's life, casting him as a sad an angry young man lashing out at the world and finally brought down by his careless deceit.
