Title: AN UNPRECEDENTED LITERARY DISASTER!!
Review: I'm fascinated by Reagan and I came to this book with enthusiasm. But after weeks of trying to read it, I sadly admit defeat. Dutch is the most poorly written biography I have ever encountered. Its smug, superior tone combined with the arrogance of its effete author is supremely offensive - and it's showy and artsy mixing of fact and fiction is confusing in the extreme. The effect is a bravura performance of a glib, overly-intellectual author high on an unparalleled ego trip. Mr. Morris is narcissistically in love with his superior (in his own eyes) intellect, and is a crashing bore in this book. Words really can't describe how infuriating it is to read a biography like this and have to suffer through the blathering fiction of this arrogant author. I hope the pblisher lost a fortune of this mess - it would serve them right. And I trust the decision of the Reagans in choosing Morris as their official biographer will go down as the greatest mistake of their lives!
