The subject is difficult to read for anyone who has had to serve a tyrannical boss, or who wants to be one . Phillip Lopate writes on the back cover of the jacket: "'Never meet your heroes,' might be its motto. Though Rosemary Mahoney pulls no punches in her rendering of Lillian Hellman, she is equally honest in portraying the ... powerlessness of adolescence. Irresistibly readable..." Mahoney's prose and juxtaposition of details is indeed beautiful.
