Review of 'Portrait of the Artist As a Young Dog' on 'GoodReads'

3 stars

Dylan Thomas never fails at reclaiming his literary streets, although I found his portrait kind of painted in water colours when it should have been oil based - I guess he was merely whittling away at memories and on this level it worked. Don't get me wrong, I think the man is a enigma of brazen thought, only this particular work sort of tied me over rather then carried me away.
