Decent, but author's diatribes get old fast,

This review is from: Understanding Frank Lloyd Wright's Architecture (Dover Architecture) (Paperback)
I have a lot of books about FLLW. This one is well laid out, with very good reference pictures and some interesting views of the architecture of FLLW.
What is disappointing is reading how brilliant the author is in his own words all the time. From the preface to the ending you get a non-stop diatribe from him about how he understands FLLW, and every other author that has touched the subject doesn't know his or her head from a doorknob, and I am sure that several members of The Fellowship as well as Dr. Storrer would disagree with him. If you can get around that, it is worth adding to your FLLW library. Just don't take what this guy says about his own personal brilliance, and definitely understand that what he may see in The Master's art isn't necessarily what you will see when you see it for yourself. FLLW's architecture is something that touches all of us in different ways.

Not a bad book but the author could have provided more detail and photos to back up his claimed "understanding" of Wright's work. Some nice photos.
