"There is much to enjoy and admire in 'Schulz and Peanuts,' a biography of Charles Schulz by David Michaelis. The basic story, of how a not conspicuously gifted but very determined barber's son from ...St. Paul, Minnesota, rose to become the richest cartoonist of all time, warms the heart in traditional American fashion. Michaelis...never met Schulz but has interviewed almost everyone still alive who brushed against the lonely, self-contained creator of 'Peanuts,' and has taken good advantage of the superabundant interviews that the cartoonist, jealous of his privacy though he was, gave to reporters..."
