Kate F. (kateford) reviewed Couldn't finish it on 5/31/2009 + 13 more book reviews

I do pity her situation and admire her perseverance against a power house enemy, but I couldn't finish this book. I read the first two chapters, and the final two chapters, and everything in between I had to skim. Ultimately I had to 'wiki' it to get some basic facts. I just don't have enough time to read poorly written books. It's mawkish, clearly the work of an amateur, and sorely in need of a good editor. I love biographies and am not beyond reading a little dirt, but this was just a waste of time. I'm glad she prevailed and in fact set a legal precedent for similar cases which followed (this is not a spoiler inasmuch as this case has been a public record for years), but, Locke is no writer, and didn't have a good ghost writer.
