Review title: A burden to read
Product review: I bought this book with a great interest in the subject matter, and tried very hard to like it. Instead, I found myself slogging and trudging through "The Poet's" boundless self-absorption. Unfortunately, one finds oneself wishing early on that the title character's tuberculosis would just hurry along with its business. His time spent ruminating endlessly on the meaning of life (and death) would've been so much better spent living it - as the brilliant man he undoubtedly was, he could've accomplished so much. I haven't been this exasperated with introspection since Eat, Pray, Love. At least SHE enjoyed life.Even when stunned from his endless reveries, Henry Stuart still manages to contemplate the joy out of everything.Some nice descriptions of the Mobile area in here, and some interesting quotations to ponder if you're inclined. For the most part, this book is mind-numbingly boring.
