I received this book from the Goodreads giveaway and I was excited to read it. I don't know why I have waited this long to write my review. I guess I felt irrationaly guilty for posting my feelings online. Anyway, I liked the concept of Van Gogh in the late stages if his life. I had never heard of Dr. Gachet and I was interested to learn more. But I got bored...nothing really happened until Van Gogh shot himself. I recently read a different book about Van Gogh and really liked it, so it's hard to compare. There were some good parts, though. I don't want to entirely bash the book. So, if you're interested in the doctor's view of Van Gogh's death, then this book is for you!
