Negative Positive
Title: Sibling rivaltry between sisters or . . . ?
Review: This book preports to give the "real" biography of Roseanne Barr, and it is colorful indeed. Still, one wonders about the author's (her sister, Geraldine's) credibility since much of the text is presented in a negative light that highlights Barr's faults. The passages on Barr's accusations of childhood sexual abuse are intriguing and raise skepticism; but overall, the book has a whiney, defensive tone coming from a sister who was suprisingly and, in her view, unjustly fired as Barr's agent/promoter. More info about the development and execution of the popular "Roseanne" television show would have been interesting. In my opinion, the writing in this book is much too padded and reads a bit like a gossip tabloid.
Is the review positive or negative?
