Reviews

[Monte McGuire]

Crud, I couldn't finish it. I thought this was about Lawrence of Arabia (T E Lawrence). Oh well ...

[Mick Meyers]

A solid if not enjoyable account of Mr Lawrence s life .my first biography about him which I found a very dry account.reading between the lines of Mr meyers book he seems to have been a rather sad individual with a low opinion of others.a rather spoiled man child,who having cursed with Ill health was determined to make others lives a misery as well.why is it that the people that are blessed with an artistic skill seem to think they have to suffer for their art.

[Pat]

Adequate overview of Lawrence but lackluster. I'm sure there are better biographies of him out there and I welcome suggestions. This portrays him as an unhealthy, emotionally unstable , petty, abusive man.

[Ryan]

Meyer’s biographies do to writers what ill-trained puppies do to living room carpets.

bookmarked at page 203 of 387, somewhere between 1916-1919, he's not even out of Cornwall, yet, when I put the book down and never return to it. I know much about his life from there because of his involvement with Aldous Huxley both in England and later in the United States.
