Helpful Score: 3

This has gotten such fantastic reviews in the press- touted as "alluring" and "compelling" but it is heavy slogging. I usually like biographies and non-fiction, but couldn't get past page 50. I have no doubt that the research is excellent, and it is not that the writing is bad, it is just too dry. This book is an example of a brilliant marketing campaign and a beautiful cover.
