If you are a Van Gogh fan (as much a fan of him as you can be) this book is certainly one to put on your list.
The book is not really a page turner, but it displays the interesting life story of Vincent Van Gogh, the search for his interest in life and also the struggle to become a painter. For the record, he died before his 40s and he was a failed painter while he was still alive.
The story, a true one, shows the passion to become something you want, and Van Gogh had to battle not only with his family and friends for this, but also with his own nature, as he had epileptic tendencies.
