Paul Robert Hanna: A Life of Expanding Communities

Rating:
Summary: Content Rich but Style Poor
Review: I am a fan of Frank Lloyd Wright architecture and stumbled upon Paul Robert Hanna when reading his Clients' Report about his Wright-designed Hanna House. Wanting to know more about Hanna, I discovered Jared Stallones book on amazon. Being a teacher, I was particularly interested to read about Hanna's life and works. To that end I was not disappointed; Stallones supplies much information and detail. However, reading his book felt like reading a thesis or dissertation. Stallones writing style is dry; he does not paint pictures or tell compelling stories. The book would have been improved with some photographs of Hanna and Jean, his wife. I rate this book a 5 for information about Hanna and a 3 for the writing style.

Summary: Stallones' latest is great
Review: Stallones, as always, produced a winner. Great stuff.
