Negative Positive
Title: NOT EVEN ENTERTAINING!
Review: Good: there are many photos.BAD: the photos are very small.Good: many accurate facts.BAD: only facts, and NO index at the back!Good: a lot of text.BAD: no analysis, a verbal self-intoxication.Good: it is about Judy Garland.BAD: at the end of the book, you still don't know her: no critical appraisal, no situating of the personality in the context of popular music of the period. Furthermore, she was more than entertaining, but the book only depicts her as a "talent to amuse" us. This is almost revisionism.And last:Bad: poorly written.GOOD: so, you can skip most of it.
