This book gives me a headache

This is slow going. It's detailed and dense and I am tired from working a full time job for my entire life.

To me this is rather dull old-school biography. So much reads like a police report, with very little much-needed interpretation, not just piling on details. The biographer should be the interpreter of fact against context, culture, politics, etc., not the reader who doesn't have that information resident AND doesn't frankly have the time or energy to conduct oodles of outside research.

Way too much of the juvenilia for me.

Old style biography. But very good data, just a bit arduous at times.
