It gave a lot of information that caused me to look for more. Unfortunately, about looking, I realized nearly all of the information was readily available and anyone with a bit of sense could almost have written it themselves. And this book also went for ridiculously high prices. It took a while, but I finally found one for a song. And I'm lucky. I would have been disheartened if I had paid out more than a fair amount for it. I hope this biography is much more competent. John D. MacDonald deserves a biography that matches his craftsmanship.<BR/><BR/>- LawrenceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-63991970691001742342009-01-30T16:13:00.000-06:002009-01-30T16:13:00.000-06:00I hope the bio's a good one.
