Review of Love And Murder
[Following is a volunteer review of "Love And Murder" by Dr. Irv Arenberg.]
If you're a fan of Vincent Van Gogh or just curious about the mysterious circumstances surrounding his death, then Love and Murder is the book for you. In this non-fiction masterpiece, Dr. Irving Arenberg takes us on a journey through the painter's life, with a focus on the last 70 days leading up to his untimely demise. The title itself is self-explanatory, as it explores the facts and theories surrounding Van Gogh's death and how it may be related to his tumultuous love life.
I am confident in saying that Love and Murder deserves a clean 5-star rating. The book's writing is absolutely flawless and rich, with not a single grammar or unintentional typo to be found, and the editing is clearly professional. The book is organized in a clear and logical manner, with everything carefully explained and the arguments almost irrefutable. Although some parts of the book may be sensitive or triggering for some readers (regarding suicide and death matters), there is no sexual content or profanity to be found. The pace of the book is just perfect, with everything explained in great detail. While some readers may find the chapter lengths to be "too long," I believe they are ideal for this particular book. The author takes great care to explain everything in detail: the inclusion of paintings, sketches, and photographs is a wonderful addition to the beauty of the book and enhances the analysis of the facts.
What really sets Love and Murder apart from other books on Van Gogh is Dr. Arenberg's passion for the subject matter. He's not just a writer, but an investigator, an arguer, a photographer, and the justice that wasn't served for Van Gogh. His deep love for Van Gogh as a person and as an artist is evident throughout the book, and his own website with research and experimental material is also a great addition to the book itself.
Overall, I find this book to be perfect in every aspect. The only minor personal bump I have to mention is that the writing can get repetitive sometimes as the author uses the same expressions and words to describe similar parts. However, this is completely understandable since it was written by one person who had to analyze the same scenes numerous times. Despite this, I must emphasize how incredibly well-written this book is.
In summary, Love and Murder is a must-read for anyone interested in art, biographies, investigations of death, or Vincent Van Gogh himself. The book is a masterpiece of non-fiction writing, with great detail, add-ons, explanations, and dissecting theories. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone who wants to unravel the truth behind Van Gogh's death.
