Dickens and Prince: A Particular Kind of Genius by Nick Hornby

4.0

I come to this as a big Prince fan and as someone who didn't know too much about Dickens's personal life. This was a fun, quirky, little book. Hornby basically is fanboying over two of his idols and draws comparisons between them - their tremendous creative output, their women trouble, their business woes, etc. I wasn't really convinced that they have a ton in common, but that didn't stop me from enjoying this exploration of two interesting creative geniuses. Hornby is a very entertaining writer and this won't take you long to read.
