In what world is a biography of Gauss audience-pleasing? (I enjoyed it a lot back then).

Ha, good question. I enjoyed it as well. The audience I was talking about is what is usually called "feuilleton" in the newspapers. Might have been a factor as well coming from a family with a lot of school teachers as well ;)

Anyway, wasn't meaning to be dismissive about the book, that was just my perception as a teenager.
