I have always heard that Shel was a very private person, but this book had great detail about his life. Easy read and interesting.. Luxx Mishley said Great Subject, Poor Writing. "A Boy Named Shel" is really a mixed bag. On one hand, it is an incredibly interesting read, due entirely to its subject matter - Shel Silverstein was a fascinating individual who lived life to the fullest, and his passion for creation and zest for the here-and-now clearly comes through in the telling of his life.On the other hand, Rogak is a horrible author and biographer.

He loved life and lived it more intensely than most of us dare to dream. She covers every step in his creative career, following his journey across media. Silverstein proved himself as a songwriter, a cartoonist, an author, a poet, a playwright and a screenwriter, and Rogak doesn't miss a beat.” The Daily Californian“Faithfully following Silverstein on his wandering and tracing his deft compartmentalizing, Rogak lifts the curtain, respectfully, on this cultural icon.” GO (AirTran Airways Inflight Magazine)“I didn't think any biography could do justice to one of the few honest-to-goodness geniuses of our time, a walking paradox who wore a cloak of complexity and elusiveness, but Lisa Rogak has done an exemplary job of it.” Otto Penzler, The Mysterious Bookshop“Shel Silversteinwas a genius in a dozen genres, the last

His inimitable drawings and comic poems have become the bedtime staples of millions of children and their parents, but few readers know much about the man behind that wild-eyed, bearded face peering out from the backs of dust jackets.In A Boy Named Shel, Lisa Rogak tells the full story of a life as antic and adventurous as any of his creations. He collaborated with anyone who crossed his path, and found success in a wider range of genres than most artists could ever hope to master. His boundless creativity brought him fame and fortune---neither of which changed his down-to-earth way of life---and his children's books sold millions of copies. A man with an incurable case of wanderlust, Shel kept homes on both coasts and many places in between---and enjoyed regular stays in the Playboy Mansion. But he was much more than "just" a children's writer. He penned hit songs lik
