Finished five chapters of the book, ‘The Best Minds,' which I ordered to learn more about Michael. After five chapters I know very little about Michael, other than he was apparently brilliant and well liked. But I know far more about the author Jonathan Rosen, who obviously had (has) serious self esteem issues along with Michael envy. If this book is supposed to be about Michael, the first five chapters could have been summed up in a few pages or no more than one chapter before moving on to the substance. I've started to skim ahead as I have no real interest in what records the author listened to, or his difficulties with public speaking, or him getting beat up in high school. I bought the book to learn more about Michael, but so far the book is (mostly) about the failings (real/perceived) of Jonathan Rosen, the author, which frankly is boring. Skipping ahead to Michael's story, which I hope is actually in the book.
