A touch of envy!, November 20, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Cary Grant: A Touch of Elegance (Paperback)
It's impossible to understand why such a very poorly written and long-winded diatribe could have made it to press. This book is no more than a collage of information, better written by biographers preceding Mr. Harris. Awful does not even begin to describe the book's lack of journalistic bearing. Barbed comments abound which instead of shedding light on the book's subject matter, seem to be included to ridicule its subject.
Instead of delving deeper into the life of Mr. Grant, belabors whatever industry gossip he unearths and uses this unsubstantiated information to propel paragraphs of his own personal musings. He poses rhetorical questions, which with a little bit of research on his part could have been answered factually, the rhetorical query causally becoming completely moot.
