The book receives significant praise for its excellent journalistic work and thorough research, offering a comprehensive and detailed account of a truly extraordinary life. Reviewers consistently highlight the fascinating, tumultuous, and often outrageous nature of the subject's story, describing it as both tragic and comical. The author is commended for providing a nuanced picture of a complex individual, exploring the many scandals and follies that marked his existence. Many find the book to be a valuable historical document, offering a unique perspective on a figure whose reality seems to surpass fiction, making it an engaging and entertaining read, especially for those previously unfamiliar with his full story.
Despite its strengths, some readers found the sheer volume of negative incidents and misdeeds described to be overwhelming. The book can, at times, feel like a long enumeration of frauds, deceptions, and blunders, which some reviewers found made certain sections tedious or even exhausting to get through. While acknowledging the subject's bizarre life, a few critics felt the presentation could be dry in parts or that the constant stream of "extra everything" made it difficult to fully absorb. The focus on the subject's exploitative nature also brought to mind the many victims of his actions, adding a layer of melancholy to the reading experience.
Overall, the book is considered a captivating exploration of a deeply troubled and unique historical figure, who appears to have lived a chaotic life marked by unaddressed personal issues. It is highly recommended for readers interested in detailed biographies of scandalous personalities, historical documents that offer a window into past societal norms, and journalistic deep-dives into complex lives. Those who appreciate a narrative that blends elements of tragedy with dark humor, and are prepared for an extensive account of a life filled with both audacious escapades and unfortunate circumstances, will likely find this book a compelling read.
