The Man who shocked the world

This book accurately depicted the entire life of Stanley Milgram. It's hard to find fault with a book for doing exactly what it set out to do, but very little in this book interested me in the least. His experiments were fun to read about and provided a good starting point for thinking about things. But his bouncing around colleges and fascination with films is knowledge that only takes up what little room I have in my head. In my opinion no mortal man's entire life is worth knowing about. Things they do, yes. Significant events, perhaps. But the entire drawn out story, no. An abstract of this book could be a very positive reading experience, but the book is too dry for me to enjoy.
