Reviews
This is a well written and interesting book. I read a lot of non-fiction and this has to be one of best books I have read in a long time. The book is full of interesting facts. I found it especially interesting because I am also an artist who coincidentally lives within a mile of the Wyeth world in Chadds Ford, PA. I was surprised Betsy Wyeth signed off on this book because I felt it did not make her look good. In fact, the book, in my opinion, portrayed her as over controlling, self-centered, and just not a nice person. I know a lot about the Wyeth family and this does not surprise me. They seem to be a bit full of themselves. It was sad to read how their relationship wasn't very healthy under the surface. All in all, if you have any interest about Wyeth or the Chadds Ford area then this is a must read. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
