Negative Positive
Title: Hie thee hence.
Review: If nine tenths of this has been culled from its subject's three memoirs, what makes up the remaining tenth? Essentially the authors's subjective interpretation of the nine tenths. If they had actually known Oscar Levant, their opinions might have some relevance. They didn't know him. If they were authorities on music, or movies, or talk shows, or Broadway musicals -- SOMETHING --, their opinions might have some relevance. They aren't. (In fact, according to the blurb above, they are "poets" who teach writing. At least, then, the thing ought to be reasonably well written. It isn't.)
Is the review positive or negative?
