Is this a good bio to read?

I am on a quest to find the best Marx biography myself. Haven’t found it yet, seems like there isn’t one definitive one out there. Michael Heinrich has apparently written a great one but he’s only done one of three volumes (or the others haven’t been translated into English yet, I don’t remember).

I'll check that out, the translation of vol 1 is published by Monthly Review, so I'll take that as a good sign
