Title: Is It Real or Is It Memorex?
Product review: Will the real Ronald Reagan please stand up? Will the author of this biography please sit down?What happened when I read this book? Did I learn more about Ronald Reagan and the people around him? Yes. Could I tell what was real and what was invented? No. Did I stay up late trying to finish it? No... getting through this book took awhile. It was not an easy read. I had heard this was a "unique" biography, written from the perspective of the author as a fictional character (!), and it seemed that way.I understand historical fiction, and I understand biography. I guess I am having some difficulty with melding the two, particularly with Reagan, who WAS larger than life. I wanted to learn more about the man and his presidency, and I was left hanging.Another biography will eventually come out. How long can you wait?
