Book Reviews of The South Pacific Companion
Book Review: A Terrific Book
Summary: 5 Stars
If, like me, you think "South Pacific" is the greatest musical of all time, or even if you're only interested in musicals in general, then you'll find this a wonderful book. The other reviewers here have already told you why. I'll add one caveat, though: the brief introduction by a character named Adam Guettel (whom I'd never heard of) is so over-the-top in its florid pomposity and baroque overkill that I seriously wonder if he even knows how to speak English. If you're a connoisseur of gibberish, however, you'll enjoy it. Fortunately, the author of the book itself, Laurence Maslon, has a firm command of both his subject and the English language. As well as a sly sense of humor....
