This review is from: Daniel Day-Lewis: The Fire Within (Hardcover)
Garry Jenkins has written a thorough book on the life of a man who is, arguably,one of the greatest thespian talents in modern times; however, it is obviously without input from its subject, Daniel Day-Lewis. This book does give interesting detail of the romance of Day-Lewis' parents, (his father was Poet Laureate Cecil Day Lewis; his mother, a member of the Balcon family theater dynasty), as well as the story of the actor's odd aristocratic upbringing. The rest is merely information that a fan could have gleaned from various media resources, especially entertainment magazines. In Jenkins' defense, Daniel Day-Lewis, just turned forty, is very much a developing subject. The author, currently writing a sequel, is fortunate in that respect
