Title: Not worth the aggravation
Product review: Someday Shep will get a biography worthy of his genius, but this one is a godawful mess. The writing is genuinely awful, with all the personality of a washing machine's instruction booklet. Even worse, the author repeats his not-terribly-insightful insights over and over again: I literally lost count of the number of times he professed to be shocked, SHOCKED!, that perhaps not everything in Jean's monologues was strictly 100% true. It's like he doesn't even understand what storytelling is. It would almost sort of be worth it to read the transcriptions of Shep's radio monologues, but since literally hundreds of hours of same are available online for free, it's not even worth that. Skip this, download the podcasts, buy Shep's own books, and hope that someday someone will do the job right.
