It seemed to me as if Collins felt he had to dig to find things that he felt we really interesting to write about and that was the reason for relating and editorialising on the Cathy Davis stories. Also, it seems more like he was told - "hey write this book on this guy" and he could not care less about GL, the only connection being that Collins is also Canadian.....

Yes.

Exactly.

What the book lacks is any soul. This is fatal when you are writing about someone with a deep, complex soul. I mean if you write a fluff piece on Mariah Carey who cares? Gord's different - there's a ton of depth there. If you can't really explore that leave well enough alone.
