About the Author:
This book is written by Jan Greenberg and Sandra Jordan. The other book that Jan has written is called Prince of Pop. I don't know if that is a good book or not but I do know that this book Vincent Van Gogh is an amazing book and I will serenely read it again. When she was born she loved to draw and write stories. In 1990 she came to her dream and wrote books with a little bit drawing. Sandra also has written a book called Clinical Pediatric Nephrology the price is between $266 to $425. She was born in Peru and wasn't born with an appreciation for exquisite old world craftsmanship. She developed that sensitivity from years of research and study, travel, and teaching.

Favorite part of the story:
My favorite quote in the story is on page 59. The quote said about Vincent that he has two personalities and it's like he is in two different worlds.
" It is as if he had two persons in him-one marvelously gifted, delicate and tender, and the other egotistical and hardhearted. They present themselves in turn, so that one hears him talk first one way, then in the other, and this always with arguments which are now all for, all against the same point. It is a pity that he is his own enemy, for he makes life hard not only for others but for himself."
The reason I like this part the most is because it is about Van Gogh being two persons one is the one that is sweet and gifted and the other one is when he is mad and crazy. This part has a meaning to it and is said in a way that would make you want to read it again. This part means a lot to me because it reminds me about one of my friends in Iran. Who was a two person one was a gifted boy that could play piano very well and the other a boy that liked girls a lot and wanted to have a lot of girlfriends and he was a sick person.

If you don't want your son or daughter to use such bad words then you shouldn't buy this book. This book is usually for 8th graders and most of the time for 7th. But not for 6th graders. So when you want to buy the book please pay attention to the Rating system of the book. So don't buy a book and you don't like your kids to learn bad words or do bad things, and if you like it you can't return it. PLESE PAY ATTENTION TO THE RATING OF THIS BOOK. The ratings contain:

Have you seen Starry Night??? It is probably one of my favorite painting by Van Gogh. The only reason why i wouldn't read this book is because he cut off his ear for the one he loves. Don't you think that is a little bit gross???? i know i do. I like the quote that you picked to. It is just like real life. Some people have two personalities. Great idea for a book.

The way you wrote about this book sounds exciting and interesting. You gave thorough information and always kept an enthusiastic emotion throughout the whole review. I might read this book soon.

Sounds like an interesting book, Javid. Sounds like one of those books that just seem interesting. The character Vincent Van Gogh sounds like a very interesting, yet strange, person. As far as I know, giving an ear for a present fairly weird.
