Negative Positive
Title: Dreadful Book
Review: This book about Opal Whiteley is badly-written and poorly-researched, despite the author having been a small town newspaper reporter. Elbert Bede knew Opal in Oregon when she was a teenager and wrote positive articles about her, supporting the validity of her story, until she became famous and moved to the east coast. Then he turned on her with a vengeance and tried to cash in on her celebrity by defaming her. Every page of this character assassination oozes with the resentment and jealousy of am untalented, smalltime writer left behind in the wake of an ascendant writing star.
