Highly recommended. Best Biography on Van Gogh!

Review from Van Gogh →

Just finished this epic 45 hour audiobook detailing the life of Vincent Van Gogh. Steven Naifeh and Gregory White Smith concluded with very detailed interviews and deep fact finding that Van Gogh was shot and killed in accident by 16 year old René Secrétan and not by suicide popularized by Van Gogh mythology. However, Naifeh..

An improvement on previous two books

Review from To Hell and Back →

The tone of book is more in line earlier books in the series before they spiraled down into the obsession with Lucky. Of course it’s still about Lucky but the banter between the team members is back and we’re not having to wade through the overwhelming (and awkward) angst Jason has about Lucky’s fate that..
