37. Yes, that is the difference
Ms Kelley does not have a political agenda. She is not out to destroy anyone. She does however have a nose for a great story, and does a great job writing about the roller coaster of life, and how public personas that people create hide strange and quite disfunctional realities.

She comes up with the goods, but I have never found her to be nasty, or vindictive or cruel. She doesn't have an agenda. More than anything she reminds me of an 19th century novelist -- just enjoys the twists of human nature.

This book is factual. It is not a hatefest, or a smear campaign. It merely sets out to report the facts.

As with Kevin Phillips the historian, Ms Kelley may have started out with one intention, and found that the facts led her in an entirely different direction.

While I know a lot of the stuff already, I know there are going to be surprises.

I ordered mine from Amazon back in MARCH!! I can't wait. Ms Kelley is a most entertaining writer, and yes, a sympathetic one.
