I know, it isn't Sean's work, but its a work about Sean, so I thought Id put my critique here! Well.... I read it, didn't take very long. It's basically a filmography, lacking style as well as substance. The woman is obsessed with dates; filming dates, opening dates, it became tedious. As to her research, Id say she did all of it online, as there was nothing in the book that one wouldn't find on IMDB. She did talk to a few people, mainly directors and other actors, but also a few teachers and a neighbour from his childhood. That's what I found most surprising, how can you write a book about someone without actually interviewing that person at all? Nothing from his family, friends, wives or kids either. Its like she deliberately went out of her way to avoid anyone who actually knows him personally! I found it all too sweet to be wholesome. The way she praised and flattered him constantly, was nauseating. After all he's a man not a Saint and all that flattery just came across as disingenuous at best, and at worst downright sinister, like she was covering over some awful truth or something! There was a couple of interesting pieces. I enjoyed the part about the making of Clarissa, but beyond that it was a very poor read. No insights, nothing new, just a rehash of old film reviews really. I had read a number of reviews and was prepared for a disappointing and lacklustre book and that is exactly what she delivered!
