Negative Positive
Title: Slanted View
Review: I'm probably not the best person to write a review of this book, as I did not get to finish the entire book (interlibrary loan). But quite frankly, I wasn't sure I wanted to finish it. Yes, some parts were poorly written, and it did have a lot of detail. However, those weren't the parts of the book that bothered me. I thought the author's viewpoint was slanted. From the very beginning the author wrote about Lorna Anderson as a woman without virtue, a scarlet woman, etc. whereas, Tom Bird was a paradigm of virtue. And if he wasn't exactly that, his notes, conversations, etc. to Lorna Anderson could be easily explained so the author was still able to show Tom Bird in the best light possible. Lorna Anderson may be everything the author says she is, and more. But the very thing the author complained about (the prejudice of the movie about Tom Bird) is the exact same thing he has done in his book.
Is the review positive or negative?
