Wish I could read it. First off let me qualify that this review concerns the format of the book rather than its content. I'd love to say this was a great read, as I love Rufus Wainwright, but I was physically unable to read it--this printing of "There Will Be Rainbows" is definitely not meant for the vision impaired or, dare I say, anyone past "a certain age."

The author is prepared to dissect and deconstruct the music and explains what, in his opinion, works and what doesn't. I disagreed on a few points, I though. Academic Wainwright This biography is well resaerched, too well researched perhaps to the point I feel I am taking a class upon which I will be graded rather than reading a book for enjoyment. It arrived promptly though and in excellent condition. I have learned more about Rufus Wainwright than I did before but have to wade through a lot of backgrouond first.
