Title: Disappointing
Product review: This book was terribly disappointing. It seems intended more to establish the author as an intimate of Gorey's than to enlighten us about Gorey or his work -- it's particularly weak on Gorey's artistry, inspirations, or craftsmanship. Instead, it reads like a over-long gossip magazine profile written by someone with a literary vocabulary. The frequent anti-Semitic asides (the author's, not Gorey's) led me to give up half way through and deposit the book in the nearest garbage can.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
