Is it because he was writing to two or due to some precipitation of publication, the fact is that this book is not the height of the previous Bacqué, "the last death of Lincoln." This is not so much because we do not learn anything new that the book is a bit disappointing - there is already enough material in what is known DSK of life to make a good book-but more because a narrative that I find unequal (is the double effect pen?) and sometimes unnecessarily confusing. It remains however a good summary of the life of DSK. We also appreciate that the two authors focus on the preliminary deal and we are saving New Yorkers details that we know by heart. Read if you find to be borrowed; otherwise wait for the pocket.
