Thanks for your feedback and interesting viewpoints, Thor! Some of it I actually planned to touch upon in my review at one point, but it’s already more than long enough as it is. 🙂

Cool that you supplied some aid to Greiving! Are there facts/tidbits in the book that Greiving got from you, or was it mostly putting him on the right track in some of his research? Nice to see you mentioned in the acknowledgements, anyway!

Structurally, it’s an interesting approach to divide each chapters into segments that touch on different things. One could argue for an approach that was more chronological, i.e. year by year. But with a composer like Williams, it’s difficult to organize the different aspects – the personal life, the concert works, the film work etc. etc.

Hmm, my impression was that it’s pretty much chronological. But yes, he does jump a bit back and forth here and there, when it’s thematically relevant.
