Whenever I read a biography of an author, I end up finding the author to be an unpleasant person - not the kind of person I'd want to know IRL. This book was no exception. Richer wrote columns for one of the newspapers my parents subscribed to and I generally found these columns interesting and not unpleasant, but the accounts of the man himself in this book paint a portrait of someone I wouldn't care to know.
The book itself is not terribly interesting either. It was really a chore to finish it more than anything else. It would be useful for academic research, but doesn't quite stand up to general interest reading.
