Summary: Why can't a biography explain more of a man?
Comment: "The Incomparable Rex" is an entertaining, light read. But it is like eating too much dessert without a sustaining entree.

Patrick Garland claims a decade worth of friendship with Harrison, and claimed to have found him charming. Yet nearly all his antecdotes display Harrison as self-centered and with an ugly tongue and temper.

The reader naturally wonders WHY? This book does not attempt to answer this. There is no character exploration, only antecdotes [and long sentences - 12 lines or more! -- containing too many commas and subordinate clauses. I found it difficult to believe that Garland had been given an honorary doctorate in "English letters".]

If you are satisfied with antcedotes and vignettes, this is the book for you. If you are interested in the man's life, and the whys of his life, this book will be a disappointment.
