I enjoyed it until the whole ~ last 1/3rd or so of the book that mainly dealt with nefarious business arrangements, changes of allegiances, patents, shell companies, investors what have you. My eyes glazed over and I was ready for it to be finished. I also got the feeling that there was so much more that could have been written but that only certain people would talk to this reporter/quasi-biographer.
