Negative Positive
Title: Astonishingly In-Depth
Review: In Search of River Phoenix: The Truth Behind the Myth really is an amazing tribute to the memory of River Phoenix. That's not to say that this book is a one sided look at River's life through rose-tinted glasses. It certainly isn't. Barry Lawrence is not afraid to examine and dissect the controversial aspects of the young actor's life. However the book never strays across the other side of the line into sensationalism.The level of research, time and dedication of the subject matter is obvious throughout this astonishing book and bring to life the unusual world in which Joaquin Phoenix's big brother inhabited.This might well be not only the most interesting and factual biography on River Phoenix but possibly one of the most meticulous biographies ever written about anyone!Definitely worth reading.
