Description:
A Financial Times Book of the Year: the definitive story of fashion's most enigmatic icon.
Karl Lagerfeld lived a very public life. He shaped the Chanel and Fendi brands for decades, and his wit and wisdom amused and informed the world. Yet despite a massively public persona, his hinterland remained unknown. What is the truth behind this larger-than-life but enigmatic figure?
The journalist and fashion specialist Alfons Kaiser met Lagerfeld on numerous occasions. He has now written the first authoritative biography on this fascinating character, whose life has always been marked by elements of secrecy. From his parents' links with the Nazi regime to Lagerfeld's last days in the company of only his closest friends, this book - the result of unprecedented archival and field work - divulges all the facets of a passionate artist and workaholic: the precocious boy who preferred to draw in the attic rather than play with his peers; the son who quarrelled with his parents but never got away from them; the competitor of Yves Saint Laurent, whom he outshone in the end; the brother, uncle, friend; and finally, the partner of Jacques de Bascher, the great love of his life.

I’m Hooked
Format: Kindle
Great storyline. Kept me hooked from the very beginning. There’s a Dr. Who vibe that comes to the fore later, and it’s fantastic. No, sorry… it’s Terrific.

A fairly decent super hero romp
Format: Paperback
If Mister Terrific suffers from any one flaw it is that he is incredibly generic. Nothing about this book was particularly offensive and it provided for some fairly good reads but the villains Terrific goes up against are hardly that. Despite this weakness, I found the series to be a fairly good read and while the major ongoing storylines were clearly cut short by the title's untimely demise, the ending satisfactorily led into the current status quo for Mister Terrific on Earth-2. Whether his presence there becomes relevant or not remains to be seen (particularly with the depature of Earth-2 writer James Robinson) but as things stand now, Mind Games still seems to be valuable background reading for Earth-2 and also lays a bit of ground work for the plot in World's Finest, meaning that Mister Terrific is nicely connected to the two current Earth-2 based titles.
The pace of the book is fairly decent, with several short story arcs that see Mister Terrific facing different villains and an ongoing plot throughout that deals with Terrific's secret identity and the issues he is dealing with as the CEO of a Fortune 500 company. The writing is not always sharp but the supporting cast is fairly solid and its a tragedy that we probably won't see some of these characters again. Terrific himself has enjoyable, if somewhat illogical, inner monologue that typically involves him thinking through a problem and while the science is (often) fuzzy, Wallace does a good job of showing how science and tech form the basis of Mister Terrific's powerset.
I would characterize this book as a solid B-list entry. Fans of the character may appreciate it as well as readers looking for something a little different but it is by no means a must-read. I'll be keeping it on my shelf as an important book for World's Finest and Earth-2 (both of which I have pulled since issue #1) however. If you can get your hands on this trade (or its related single issues) for a modest price, it provides a decent couple of hours of reading. It is a pity that nothing stands out particularly well but I appreciated that so much seemed to happen in only eight issues compared to some of the tedious extended plots of other comics.

Silver Age Batman time trip
Format: Hardcover
Fun book. I was born at the very beginning of the Silver Age and had older brothers, so I was reading by four, and had great reading material available.
