The more things change...
It kills me that my icon is still relevant.
But moving on...
If you google the 1 star reviews for CoB at Amazon, the complaints about the book raise the EXACT SAME issues as the current movie reviews from people who have no dog in the CC fight.
(Now 12% at Rotten Tomatoes and still falling, BTW)
It was weak material to begin with. Unoriginal. Badly mashed together. Her sales bolstered only by the inexplicable cult of personality she somehow inspires.
CC's gift is not for writing, but for networking, manipulation and building a veneer of credibility by surrounding herself with better talent who have a measure of integrity.
I tried to read COB but was chewing my own leg off by page 6.
After that I only picked up to books to confirm that Heidi was missing in action from CC's many thanks and acknowledgements. Like so many who threw themselves under the bus for CC, the impact seems to have woken them up.
(See the Amazon 1-Stars for a who's who of CC trolls who leapt to her defense and now are cast aside)
It appears that, after a while, the KoolAid wears off.
I predict the sequel will be dumped, CC will behave with her lack usual grace and sense of fair play, and her ample karma will be run over by betrayed friends/business associates collective dogma until it is a but a pathetic greasy spot on the highway.
What goes around- etc...
The bigger they are - etc...
