Yes, I had some issues with the writing style and the author's attitude, but other reviewers have covered those complaints. Here, I want to talk about subject of this biography, and the inspiration I took from him, even from the glimpse I had from this book. I've always loved McCoy, and right now I'm so proud to say that I truly love De as well. He is a consummately good man, and there are so many ways in which I relate to him. His challenges with the chaining fear of his childhood faith, his burning need to forge his identity as an artist, his dogged but humble ambition in the industry, the way he kept to his principles, remained good in a land of temptation, and then the tragic way he was always just one step behind the fame he always sought. But he was content with his simple life, with his wife and his love of the simple things. He was sincere, and truly cared about his friends. He was loyal, understanding, and a rock to lean on. His life is an odd parallel to mine, in that he is so often the things I was or try to be, even what I am now considering. But the most compelling reason I have for my great love for DeForest is his own inherent admirable character: his simple faith, his self-effacing humor, his quiet conviction, his gentle modesty, sincerity, and wit. He was not an innocent, but he had innocence. He was a preacher in his own way, through his goodness and his humanity, on and off the screen. He shone His light through his actions and devotion, and was truly great among people who are only content to call themselves such.
