McPhee's book panned (don't give up your night job?)

Reviews of Michelle McPhee's book on amazon.com are not kind. People are saying it's full of
typos that editors didn't catch; filler; was a rehash of newspaper articles, etc. Was almost
thinking of buying it but I found in two visits to Borders it was nowhere to be found. Who knows,
maybe it IS a good book, but those who have (allegedly) read it seem to disagree. Maybe I'll
pick it up at the library and check it out; I could be wrong. (Then again, amazon already has it
marked down to half price--it can be had for slightly more than the cost of four Boston Heralds
(the Herald, like the Globe, is now 75 cents).

Also, it came out on day 2 of the murder trial--"rush job"? Couldn't wait to have coverage of the
trial in there, too? I have read true crime books that do at least offer some pages at the end
with a brief summary of the trial :)

Some did like it though. No word if they were friends or relatives of Michelle :)

No word if WTKK's 7 pm host is going on a big book signing and TV appearance tour a la Howie... :)

wait a few months and you'll be able to find it on a remainder table. I just saw Howie's book about the Bulgers on a remainder table in Portland, ME for $5.99 a few weeks ago.
 
Let's be fair, there aren't many review on that site....and the book just came out.

Hey, look at it this way.....she got a book written, published and in stores....which is more than most people in radio do.

Give her credit for that.
 
looking at her literary skills from the sunny side, she is batting .500, since her first book " Mob over Miami" has been picked up as the basis for a major motion picture called "Unmade Men"

That had to be good for a couple of bucks.
