Title: The long read of Chet Baker
Review: This book annoys me. It is so badly written and put together and fails miserably to hold the reader's attention. Why did James Gavin attempt to write such a biography if he had nothing new to tell his readers about Chet Baker? Mr Gavin ... don't waste our time with this regurgitated dribble.Chet Baker's life was self indulgent to the hilt. James Gavin makes Baker out to be some sort of hero. Baker was no hero; he was a pitiful lost soul who just happened to be a good musician and vocalist ... whenever he could get his act together.As for making a movie of Baker's life ... that sounds like a sure way to file for bankruptcy.This book deserves to be left on the warehouse shelf. It is not a good read.
