Title: Don't waste your time!
Review: I checked this book out from my local library and must recommend this as the only way to read this book, if you must at all. While I recognize the author's need to clarify her father's character, she goes so far in the other direction that her portrayal is as unrealistic as the one in "Shine." I think it should have been an article in a popular magazine -- that's about how much space it needs. Perhaps the only legitimate point the book makes is to highlight the myth that mental illness like that suffered by her brother can be caused by abuse alone. Still, there's no need to read or own this book unless you are a member of the Helfgott family who wants a meticulous (if biased) family history. Sorry to be so negative but I was very disappointed -- ironically, it made me finally see the movie that the author strives to disprove. I gave it one star because it was the lowest rating I could give (I would give it less!).
