Charlie: A Narrative Portrait of Charles Lang (Portrait Series)

Rating:
Summary: What We Really Know
Review: I met Charlie Lang in January of 1997. Since then, he's become one of my closest friends and favorite musicians, and I was curious about this book. I bought it in spring of 2000, and I just melted. I thought I knew Charlie, but I couldn't believe it when I read about what he went through. Whether it's exaggerated, or not I do think it describes in great detail a brutal mental health system that many have to survive, rather than embrace. I have a healthy respect for people who have been through such a hell as described in this book, and I believe Charlie deserves every ounce of respect he gets, and more. It takes major guts to exist in such a deep mental pit for such a long time. My hat's off to Charlie Lang

Summary: Not as promising as it seems
Review: I've read all the books in this series and this is the one I liked the least. This can be either a good or bad thing. I found myself not liking Charlie much, but that fact that it was Charlie who I didn't like is impressive. His personality is IN this book and if you like Charlie as a person, you'll like the book.

Summary: A roller coaster ride through the mind of a creative genius!
Review: The sounds of joy, angst, torment, love and desires jump off the pages of this book! It is being used by actors in acting classes- a fabulous read, and great work for actors who are looking for characters with tremendous vocal range and emotional depth!
