Has anyone read the stalking of Julia Gillard?

My daughter (14) is a proud feminist, her brother teases her but she is actually quite serious about it, she more relates it to celebrities I think but said she was interested to read it, is it suitable do you think?

Horan:

"It’s a thinly veiled accusation made less thin by the word “stalking” in the title. It is uncomfortable because the argument falls flat when you remember that Rudd was the one knifed in the first place. He wasn’t white-anting, as much as retaliating. But there is little scholarship to back up Walsh’s hypothesis (even though it’s not implicitly stated as such). Again, her premise falls down because of a lack of third-party analysis and commentary.

 

Peter Craven:

"Kerry-Anne Walsh is at her best emphasising the difficulties of minority government, but she never comes to terms with the Peter Principle of which Gillard made herself such a victim."


"She didn’t interview Ms Gillard or Mr Rudd for the book "
 
The books revelations regarding the 4th Estate are interesting, and will be of interest to Annie LL, but I think this sums it up well:
"This book is good if you are either an extremely passionate Gillard supporter and hate everyone else and want to wallow in that..........."
 
I think some will (are) wallowing here!
