Title: A fulff piece, with a little useful history thrown in
Product review: If you are looking for a balanced review of the nation's largest pharmacy chain, you need to look elsewhere. It is useful as a general history of the chain, especially the family connections. However, it is not an objective or balanced work. It reads, especially in the portions covering the last 20 or so years, like a piece written by the PR department. No negative views are presented, though I know many current and former Walgreens' employees who would beg to differ when it comes to working conditions and pharmacy professionalism. I will use some of the material in my History of Pharmacy class when I discuss the rise of the chain stores, and the various approaches taken towards this goal, and for that, this is a decent resource.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
