A fascinating story about one of the most influential personalities, artists, and marketing phenomena of our times. It will hold a special interest for Minnesotans because he grew up here, but I also enjoyed how it weaves together the histories of the WW2 and Baby Boom generations.

I agree with Bill Es comments above; Schulz was a very intriguing and complicated man. As an artist, I found his life story to be quite fascinating. Though the book is massive in length, the author tried to drill down deep to understand Schulz’s guarded and often, unexplored psyche. I found the use of the cartoon strips interspersed with the text, useful and enjoyable. My only negative comment of the book would be, it could have used a little more editing; there were places of repetition that at times, I found annoying and distracting to the storytelling. Otherwise, a great read, especially for fellow Minnesotans.

This was a wonderful biography on the life of Charles Schulz, the beloved writer of all things Snoopy and the whole Peanuts gang! I thought it was really interesting and it pulled me into the story. It had wonderful imagery, and delightful descriptions. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for a biography to read!
