Originally I thought it was merely the difficulty of compiling so much information together that made it a little dense and lacking in coherence. However, biographies I have read since (of other people, not Prokofiev) have made me realise this isn't the case, since other authors have managed to write equally comprehensive biographies without sacrificing readability and interest.
