Book Reviews of Beethoven (Revised Edition)
Book Review: Unreadable and boring
Summary: 1 Stars
I found this book unreadable and extremely boring. It was so dense with meaningless detail that the narrative flow virtually ceased - the endless inclusion of irrelevant detail sucked the life right out of the book for me. After a while I began skimming the pages in an effort to escape the onslaught of useless details. Although this book claimed to be a biography about a life, the writing style itself lacked life. I have read several books by Ron Chernow who also writes biographies and Chernow proves that you can be scholarly without sacrificing readability.
