Interesting and sad
|
I believe the editor of this book (first edition, hardcover) must have been asleep at the wheel. I spotted several typos throughout. There is even an entire paragraph at the bottom of page 77 which is duplicated in its entirety at the top of page 78. The proofreader must have been on vacation.
Editorial gaffs aside; from a content perspective - it was a most enjoyable read. The Carpenters were truly a success story and their rise to fame was remarkable. Having 'come of age' in the 70's, their music continues to bring back fond memories for me. Karen Carpenter's downward spiral into an anorexic abyss is hard to fathom, but I guess it happens more often than we realize. Trying to get this woman to eat must have been extremely frustrating to her friends and loved ones.
I think the author did a fine job in detailing the career of the Carpenters, paralleled with Karen's (and Richard's) health struggles. |
