Laughing on the Outside : The Life of John Candy

Rating:
Summary: Dissappointed,that Iam!! Too shallow-no depth-research lacks
Review: Too much reliance on other people's atricles on Candy'slife. No actual interviews with other stars and or family. Nothing indepth about his early childhood. Very vague and surface skimming. Film crews and old friends seem like the only ones that gave interviews to this writer. No family or co-stars views on him at all that wasn't already in print before this book. Leaves you hungry for more than this was able to to put on the table. Learned very little than had previously already known on this man's life and career. Author tells you he always told funny stories but never heard one person's recollection on these stories either, outside they were funny. Woefully done. Save your money and pray someone else does an authorized bio on him thats better researched than this "gleeming" was. I am biased of course,being a fan and all but I spent the money on the book in hopes of better. His (Candy's) life needs to be told better than this. What was his affliction? Eating disorder/depression? END
