Excellent biography

I read this book about 10 years ago and I thought it was very well written. It went into a lot of detail about his life which I thought was very interesting and well researched. I'd recommend this to anyone who'd like to read a good biography about Keaton.
sensitively written and highly informative- lots of pictures

I am an unabashed fan of Buster Keaton, believing his to be the pinnacle of physical humor on film in the 20th century. This book balanced the many aspects of a complicated and brilliant man who spent only one day in a schoolroom. The final section is written very sensitively, and has some great photos.
