I am an avid E. Lynn Harris fan but I was not impressed by this biography. He leaves out too much detail. The only thing I really got out of it was that his step father Ben was a main source behind his homosexuality. Calling him all kinds of names such as sissy, I think that scarred him for life. That type of verbal abuse usually does. Although I don't encourage homosexuality, Harris' books do make me think and now I'm more understanding to people who are homosexual or bisexual. I've read all of Harris' books and this is the worse one. I think he should have put a little more personal info into it. Just because you're a great writer doesn't always mean you can do a biography. Some people are just better at creating things than they are with telling a true story.
