3.0 out of 5 stars Great source of info BUT .... 22 May 2001
By A Customer
Format:Hardcover
This book is a great source of info for everyone who is interested in the history of John Merrick, the Elephant Man, BUT it is way too repetitive. Montagu keeps repeating the same facts over and over again which makes the book quite boring. It's worth reading, not worth buying.

Don't think you'll like the book if you liked the film. It's an in depth character study and lacks any feeling, allthough I seriously doubt Montagu didn't feel for the Elephant Man

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Literary Achievement 25 May 1999

I was truly mesmorized by the depth of compassion that Montagu expressed. It is pleasant to read an author that tackles society's real issues. Bravo again Ashley !!!

5.0 out of 5 stars I havent read but I really,really want too! 15 July 1999
By A Customer
Format:Hardcover
First of all I have to say that any book on Joseph Merrick is worth reading. Joseph was the kind of guy we should all look up to,we should all try and relate to, and we should all wan't to learn about otherwise his courage,inner beauty knowledge and sensitivity will be forgotten or worse thought of as unimportant. He was a man who I think wasn't given the love he deserved-afterall he showed an entire society that beauty isn't everything it's what's inside that count's. Joseph Merrick has inspired me in ways I cant even describe he is like some prince out a fairytale even more handsome but only seen through something clearer than your eyes but your heart. Furthurmore having been called "The Elephant Man" was an insult to his intelegance as well as to those who called him so-think about it.
