Well written and well researched.  It is leaning too too much in the British vein.  As a treatise on the subject it is illuminating

    Essay as Biography
  

*by L***1 on Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2005*

Roger Lewis' controversial book The Life and Death of Peter Sellers is at best a massive essay on the negative aspects of the famed comedy star.  While his achievements are questionable and even seem to dim in the paleness of time, the book itself isn't even interested in what those are.  The book is primarily arranged to address Sellers' behavior (or alleged behavior, in some cases) to suit the needs of the writer.  While not as vile as Goldman's Lennon book, its focus is revealed quite early in the introductory chapter, which rambles on and on, backward and forward through time, to tell us that, basically, Peter Sellers was a jerk.  Though he does attempt to start each subsequent chapter in chronological order, he doesn't stick to it.  Instead he uses the event as a springboard to once again ramble through the rubbish of Sellers career and life to prove to us that he was really nobody.  Sellers himself admits this, but Lewis makes it graphic.  Ugly.  Whether its true or not is not for me to decide.Ultimately, the problem I have with the book is the same one I had with the movie.  Its not a proper biography, but rather a character essay of a man with no character at all.It is interesting to note that Sellers, who I have always found only mildly amusing, did actually go on to achieve what he did considering his antics.This book is one I'd recommend only to someone with real tolerance to the subject and the style.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Sellers Reference
  

*by M***Y on Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2010*

Originally, I had intended to read this like any other book.  Instead, I have been going to the Index and flipping through this well-documentd tome about one of the great comedic minds of all time.  This book is a terrific reference book, giving background to many performances by Peter Sellers.  Any fan would realize that this is one volume that is a "must" for their libraries!
