Gr 7 Up?Adkins captures Wright's strong personality, fierce character, and emotional ups and downs in this lively biography. Following his subject's childhood and career, he focuses on the events in Wright's life that may have accounted for his egotism and instability. Life events aside, Adkins does address his architectural legacies. Unfortunately, the small black-and-white pictures do not do them justice. Yona Zeldis McDonough's Frank Lloyd Wright (Chelsea House, 1992; o.p.) does a better job of highlighting his work. Despite the poor quality of the photos, Adkins's biography is entertaining and educational and serves as an additional purchase.?Delia Carruthers, Sunset Ridge Middle School, West Jordan, UT Copyright ?
