Title: Not very balanced
Review: Mr. Tosches does a good job painting a portrait of a man who doesn't really care about anything, who gets no enjoyment out of anything, and is generally cold and unemotional. Sounds fascinating, right? There are a few interesting sections of the book, however, its best read when balanced with books by Dean's children who offer an alternative point-of-view.My major problem with this book is that Mr. Tosches doesn't reconcile his version of Dean with the public entertainer. How can you watch or hear Dean perform and not get the sense that, although he may not have taken himself or his profession seriously, he absolutely enjoyed performing?There's no doubt Dean was a private person with his own unique faults, but as a performer no one could duplicate the infectious sense of fun he conveyed. He was one of a kind, and deserved a better biography.
