Title: More of the usual subjective perception and creative projection
Product review: Jimmy biographies often say as much about the writer as they do about their subject. Books by women with whom he had affairs often suggest he was primarily straight; books by gay men often suggest he was essentially gay. The fact of the matter is, he had an equal number of sexual relationships with men and women so if we're to be intellectually honest, we have to say he was bisexual. Anything beyond that is personal projection and that type of projection is in evidence a lot in this book. Unless you've read a LOT of biographies (as I have over thirty-five years of Dean fandom), it would be hard to know where Jimmy leaves off and the author's sexual fantasies begin. But it's not nearly as badly written as some other similar biographies are.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
