I was wondering whether it was the story, the writing, the untrue things that he put in the story, or something else that you did not like.
I read it after the big controversy started. I think that it was a good fiction tale if we had been able to take it as just that. The trouble is that you never hear anything about the plot or the writing, only about the controversy.
Of course it could be that I'm being sort of a, "Other than that Mrs. Lincoln how did you like the play?" sort of guy here. LOL
