Title: A so-so book on one facet of Hughes' life
Product review: This book made me wonder where the rest of the story was when I reached the end. Mr. Dietrich's book rather comes off as sour grapes, but whether or not those really were his feelings is also hard to tell. His book covers the many gaffs and unfinished projects indicative of a person with OCD and the selfishness of a trustfund baby -- all of which, the problems resulting from such conditions, were mopped up or smoothed over by Mr. Dietrich. I don't doubt that the things the author mentioned happened, but I wonder where are the stories of the moments of Hughes' genius that one can read about in other publications, or even a hint of humanity as a person and an employer. After reading this book, I still feel the need to read another to get the entire story and not just a piece of the tapestry, as given here.
