Byron the Years of Fame Book

I am amazed that I managed to finish this book. Quennell has a knack for turning the most interesting and colourful life and career of Byron into an almost total snooze-fest. In fact, I literally did put the book down and sleep, many times. Quennell has an annoying habit of inserting a paragraph-long aside into an already paragraph-long sentence, so that by the time you come back to the original sentence, you've either forgotten what he's talking about or have ceased to care. I can't even blame the writing style on it being written in the 1930's, as I am used to reading literature of a much earlier date. There is some biographical information in here that may be of some use to the historian or scholar who may be more used to such dry tomes. But this is NOT a book to be read for pleasure. I am off in search of Byron biographies that actually entertain as well as inform and educate.
