Review of "But He Doesn't Know the Territory" on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

I love The Music Man, and I love this rollicking, charming, funny tale of its creator, its inspiration, and the punishing but relentless process of bringing it to life. It’s a good thing it took as long as it did—the longer it gestated, the more of Willson’s madcap genius and quirky charm it absorbed.
