Deathly boring and focuses on a pet theory that Weiss was impotent to the point of obsession... With the childlessness of the couple being her only evidence. ( )

Interesting though long-winded at times. Quite eye-opening as to the myth and the man. His relationship with his wife and mother, his desire to connect with his mother after death in conjunction with his one-man crusade against false mediums and his open telling of the tools of his trade made his story quite interesting.
