Title: Biased from the start
Product review: Admittedly, many people already have an opinion of John D. Rockefeller, and many feel that he was greedy and evil. Just the same, the choice of language throughout the book is always negative to Rockefeller. He is never a good guy, even when attending church or donating money. He isn't upright, he's prudish. He isn't religious, he's sanctimonious. He doesn't form agreements, he forms cabals. Not knowing a lot about Rockefeller, I was hoping this would tell something of him. Not so. There are paragraphs saying that he only has religion and business as his activities, then suddenly we discover that he likes fast horses (and apparently has for years, since he owns several).This book reads much more like a rambling history of things that went on around Rockefeller than actual unbiased information about the man. A telling point might be that we never think of him as John, always as Mr. Rockefeller.
