Title: It's the only book on Dinah.
Review: I read this book recently, and I must say I was really disappointed. I thought it was quite poorly written, and terribly edited. There are typos throughout the book, misspellings, etc. Some of the interview material was just plain confusing. However, having said that, it is the only book I personally have been able to find on Dinah Washington, so it must get some credit for that. There is quite a bit of information in the book, but I felt it could have been much better organized, and I felt like the author's personal critiques were a bit misinformed. Overall, not that great of a read, as far as enjoyment, but it does provide some information on a terrific lady, which is sorely lacking in the jazz annals.
Is the review positive or negative?
