I haven't read any O'Hara, although I know the name and the names of some of his books ring a bell. I bought this bio on remainder, thinking that if he was as interesting as the flyleaf claims, it should be an interesting read.Not so. Wolff succeeds thoroughly in recounting "wild" adventures as if he is presenting evidence in court. I wasn't looking for lurid hyperbole, but couldn't Wolff have made the object of his bio a little interesting? Now I know why it was remaindered at $2.I don't know what the title means, and I don't intend to read the second half to find out. Dull, duller, dullest.
