I am surprised to find that I don't like Sargent in books as much as I do in life. Just not a compelling book. I know, it's his work but somehow it's not as impressive as it is in person. Book feels kind of empty or bland or something. I never loved him, I like something about his women. He's gone down a peg in my mind after buy two of his books here.
