Query: Rather disappointing indeed.

As a student in the lineage of Trungpa Rinpoche, I have great respect for his brilliance. This hagiography, however, was alternately infruriating and embarassing. If there is an official North Korean biography of Kim Il Sung, I imagine it reads much like this book in tone. As other reviewers have noted, Midal violates the first lesson of writing in that he tells, he doesn't show. I agree with Midal's objection that it is silly to expect a biographer to savage his subject. That doesn't mean, however, that one must write a slavish piece of propoganda instead. There's no need to tidy up and oversell Trungpa Rinpoche.
