Title: Not a Great Read Review: This is the first book that I have read by W.E.B. Griffin and most likely the last.The paperback publisher guaranteed that this book was a great read or your money back. Well, it was not a great read and the money back offer is too much hassle.The hero of the book, Charley Castillo, is an heir to a billion dollar publishing empire in Europe and a billion dollar conglomerate in Texas and his occupation is a Major in the US Army. That's just too far fetched.I also thought that the book was too long and bloated. For example, several pages are devoted to Castillo whining about having to check his luggage on a commercial flight because there's not enough bin space. Give me a break.It seems like the book just drones on and on and then the climax is disappointing. In fact there is no real climax. It's like Griffin is saving it for his next book.

Title: A poetic biography Review: This is truly a wonderful biography of a poet written by a poet. I found that MANY passages flow like poetry. If you are interested in Lowell and his times, you will not be able to put this book down. My favorite period is the mid-to late fifties in and around the New England area. It was an extremely fertile time: Richard Wilbur, Ann Sexton, Sylvia Plath and on and on. The country was coming out of the deadening 50's and moving on to the New Frontier 60's with all it's social and cultural upheavals. If you're a teacher of any grade, tell your students this book has somewhere in the neighborhood of 1400 footnotes. That might stop their complaints when they have to make ONLY 2 citations. More than 'just' a biographer, Mariani is himself, a writer and a poet, and he uses his skills deftly to bring Lowell to life. An excellent read!!!!!!!!
