Negative Positive
Title: Factual biography by knowledgeable writer
Review: An authoritive, definitive thorough bio from ABBA historian, C.M.Palm.Palm covers the entire careers of the four members of ABBA.Palm discusses all the major issues of their careers, and sheds light on some unfamiliar territory such as the story of Frida's father, and B&B;'s rift with former manager Stig Anderson. Palm is a dry, but highly factual writer. Because of his association with Universal Music, Palm tends not to dwell on the negative aspects of the four members of ABBA, but neither does he whitewash the ABBA story.I did find myself disagreeing with some of Palm's assessments of ABBA music. Palm tends to give only fair to bad reviews of much of ABBA's group & solo work. A new paperback version of this biography was made available in 2008. The "revision" consists primarily of a new nine-page afterword, bringing the continuing ABBA story up-to-date.
Is the review positive or negative?
