Query: Disappointing Morris Work

The trouble with this book is that I expected so much more from a historian of Morris' talents. He had 14 years..writers with half his talent would have come up with something better than this. Morris' interjection of himself into the book is distracting, which is such a shame becasue he didn't have to do that. As I read, I kept asking myself, "Where were the friends and editors of Edmund Morris when he began to pursue this insane tanget?" Why didn't someone wave him off and say, "Hey man, you're trashing your reputation."Morris is a excellent writer and the bulk of this book is good stuff. Unfortunately, the fictionalized parts are so disturbing that I would recommend people save their money and wait until someone else takes a shot at the definitive Reagan biography. No doubt, whoever does write that book will be quoting generously from Morris' work...but only the real parts.
