Book Reviews of A Boy Named Shel: The Life and Times of Shel Silverstein
Book Review: Interesting, but...
Summary: 3 Stars
I tend to agree with the other reviewers here. This book is only half of what it could be. The writing is bad, clumsy and cliche ridden.
However, I read it through in one sitting, found it interesting and bemoaned that it was the only biography of the man so far. It is not overly detailed, but more like surface tension.
With a subject like Shel Silverstein, you could have a book three times as long, with many pictures and photos.
