Title: Why write 5 pages when 250 will do?
Product review: Robert Slater's writing disappoints me. It disappointed me with his recent book about Donald Trump, "No Such Thing as Overexposure", and it disappoints me in the Martha book. It reeks of the "let's write and publish a book as quickly as possible using secondary sources" school which appears increasingly common in our bookstores. Slater repeats the same points over and over again, often using the same words, and in many cases within a page or two of the previous mention. Since he didn't get to interview Martha, the conjecturing and theorising about her life are, at best, superficial, and, at worst, make-believe. I am no fan of Martha Stewart as I am not into homemaking, but read the book as part of broader reading about comebacks. Slater's work contributed little to my thinking.
