1.0 out of 5 stars Incredibly Ridiculously Boring, May 3, 2009
This review is from: Erik Satie (Hardcover)
This book was undoubtedly the worst book I've ever gone through the pain of reading. In school, we needed to read a biography on a famous person at one point. I chose Erik Satie, one of my favorite classical composers (I'm a music geek), and I was intrigued by the hilarious stories I had read in a children's book about him one time. But upon opening the book, I had to suffer through the pages. The writing was written in a way that ruined the humor Satie had. A biography about Erik Satie could have a lot of potential as he was one of the funniest and oddest people to walk the Earth. But Myers wrote in a style that was meant to sound intelligent, that made even one of the most interesting people something to read about that would put you write to sleep. Then, to make things worse, Myers included quotes of Satie's... But in his native French language; not English like the book was meant to be written in. The humor behind those quotes was lost. (Some I looked up later, or could figure out with the limited French that I knew at the time). Also the funny titles that Satie named his pieces (Three Pieces In The Shape Of A Pear, Dessicated Embryos, Flabby Preludes for a Dog, among others), were all written in the original French. Again losing the humor.

This is a terribly boring and poorly written book. The only reason one should buy it is if they are struggling with bouts of insomnia. This book might be able to cure them.
