Negative Positive
Title: old news
Review: Lots of fascinating Roosevelt women are missing from this stew. Why not give a line or two to Selwa "Lucky" Roosevelt, Chief of Protocol for the Reagan White House, or the distinguished anthroplogist Anna C. Roosevelt, of Chicago's Field Museum? What is the point of focusing so much attention on Eleanor Roosevelt and Alice Roosevelt Longworth, each of whom have been the subjucts of dozens of full biographies? Is there really, at this point, anything we don't all already know about Eleanor, Alice and their often-strained relationship? As Caroli's dull book demonstrates, the answer is "no".
Is the review positive or negative?
