GOLDA

Rating:
Summary: A COLLECTION OF GOSSIP
Review: Golda Meir was a remarkable woman, but you would never be able to tell by this book. If you want to learn more about her, read a better book than this (almost any book is), like one by her son, or one by her friend, or one by herself. This book is very unsubjective and is based on superficial rumors. It is basically a collection of gossip in disguise as a book.

Rating:
Summary: interesting but frustrating
Review: The book covered the early life of Golda in a warm and interesting way. The following years in Israel are too domestic and obssessed with gossip, when there were such extraordinary and terrible events happening. Likewise the author comes to an abrupt end just when Golda is on the brink of most important part of her life.

Summary: What's wrong with quoting those around her
Review: The previous "reviewer" contradicts him/herself when claiming that the book was very "unsubjective" and based on rumors. Did s/he mean subjective? What's wrong with quoting those around her anyway? Why would an immediate relative have to write the book, as that reviewer argues? Ralph Martin is a professional and does a fine job here.
