Some Feedback to the Reviewers
Just a note to thank all those who wrote. For those who found the book non-analytical and not a biography, I can only suggest you return to the Introduction, where it more or less specifically states that WGE was intended as neither <g> There had been (and continue to be)a lot of books about Garland's private life; I was interested in compliling the facts about her accomplishments -- and the reasons she was important in the first place. This was an approach that hadn't before been pursued and, to be honest, it's the only one in which I am interested. I'm also not a pop culture OR Garland artistic analyst...so you'll never get any of that from me, either. (I'd find extolling my own opinions pretty dull, I'm afraid.) I just like history -- plain and simple -- and if that's not deep enough for you...well, as noted, you're reading the wrong book :)

If you're a fan of the great Judy Garland, you can never go wrong purchasing any title written by John Fricke. He loves, respects, and honors Judy in every sentence he writes. He puts class into every work he has contributed towards, be it a book or a compact disc booklet. His research is comprehensive and exhaustive. This book is a MUST for any fan of Judy - from a neophyte to octogenarian! Kudos, John. The fans of Judy salute you!
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Other books will tell you what brought Judy Garland down, but no other book will show you in such loving detail what made Judy soar. I know a lot of devout Judy fans, and for each of them, this is their favorite Judy book. The reviewers below are bizarrely out of sync with the majority of Judy people on this title. Every page literally overflows with detail, insight, and love.
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I read Christopher Finch's book about Judy Garland, called Rainbow I believe, in the 1970s. I remember how much I was impressed by this biography - how it revealed to me the real person behind the famous name, the roller coaster ups and downs of her life, and last but not least, the raw talent that made her one of the truly great singers. I remember when I put down that volume, with its marvellous photos, I felt I had a grasp on the singer and actress I had never had before, despite seeing many of her films and listening to many of her records. Finch's book kind of vibrated with perspicacity. I recently picked up John Fricke's opus at my local library and can only say that I am nonplussed. The only way I can express the way I feel after reading Mr. Fricke's book is to say that I felt I had to wander through a thick forest and never got to that vista from which I could get a clear view on Judy Garland. Mr. Fricke's book is muddled, pretentious and zealous. If you are looking to learn what Judy Garland did on this or that day, this is your book. If you are looking to learn who Judy Garland really was, I recommend the Finch volume.

One more "albeit" and I'll scream
I am horrified by the poor quality of writing in this work. In particular, the tedious use of the word "albeit" reflects a poverty of vocabulary rare for authors or... Lesen Sie weiter...

Facts, facts, facts do not a biography make
This coffee-table book devoted to Judy Garland cannot be called a biography. It is more an accumulation of fact after fact concerning Garland, without any perspective or insight. Lesen Sie weiter...
