“While this does the usual task of presenting at least some factual information about the subject, it is remarkable for the visceral hatred the author obviously feels for his subject. Even though I've been a big fan of Burgess for quite a while, I can still read this pleasurably despite the author's negative bias. Think of Lewis as Kitty Kelley with a bit more literary talent. I suspect that were Burgess still shuffling about, he would read this with some amusement.”
