Title: No "biography" here -- Don't be fooled
Product review: It's not a biography. It's an overblown book report/slam book entry. Sophomoric, brainless, devoid of style, and hopelessly mushy (in all the wrong ways), Angels Dance and Angels Die is no tribute to Pamela, to Jim, or to their relationship. This is the book the author tried for six years to write? It seems she should have tried a little longer. No book on Jim is perfect -- they all have their flaws, which of course reflect upon their authors. All this book reflects are Butler's failed aspirations as a biographer (getting it published doesn't mean it's any -good-), and frankly, that's not worth the investment of the cover price or the reading time. Memoirs like Strange Days and Light My Fire may also be clouded by the author's personal agendas, but at least they are honest memoirs -- not psuedo-facts and rumors tarted up as legitimate biography. Jim deserves better. Pamela deserves better. And the readers deserve better.
