Reviews

[Diane · Rating 4 out of 5]

I found this to be an enjoyable tale of how easy it is for the media to twist and turn the simplest thing, especially when a covered up is attempted, into a big mess. It has been several years since I read it but I think of it often when the press is hot and heavy into the slip ups of some new public figure.
