This sort of thing amazes me.
I may have mentioned earlier about my past cartooning endeavors. During that time of my life I was priveledged to meet and speak with several professional cartoonists. This man was a hero to many, and a legend whose warm, fuzzy strip lives on today. In AW alone there is a smiley icon called a Dancing Snoopy.
Sorry, but in my personal opinion, this particular writer has sunk very, very low in pursuit of sensationalism. Not as bad as the whole If I Did It scenario, but not even remotely acceptable.
I will not buy this book, and if I happen to see a copy in my local library, I plan to spit on it.

Personally, I think that if you are going to get permission to write a biography, anyone's biography, you should make it accurate, of course, but you should look for the good. If this is not a person worth lauding, why are you writing their biography.
I think the feeling of impending doom that Charles Shultz describes is fascinating and I would write more in the direction of how he overcame that and still lived a full life. I would totally add in the Buddhist approach too. How interesting.
Hmm...maybe "Happiness is Not Funny" would have made a better title then.
I'm so glad I write fiction.
It's unfortunate that the family trusted this writer. We should lift each other up, not tear each other down...
