I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I found it to be well researched and well written. While it's no secret to anyone that Van Gogh died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, I like the little twist the author gives to this incident.

I very much enjoyed the descriptions of his work and his process. While reading, I would often look up the painting which was being discussed in the narrative, to help in my visualization of the scene.

Highly recommended.
