Horrible, just horrible,
By A Customer
This review is from: Evita: Saint or Sinner? (Paperback)
The author put no effort into this book. You get the feeling that it's a real rush job. Read the biography by Navarro and Frasher. It's the real deal!

This review is from: Evita: Saint or Sinner? (Paperback)
This book is written for those people who want to read trash about Eva Peron. I stopped counting how many times he called her a 'little whore' and all the references to her 'whore's mouth'. It is disgusting.

This review is from: Evita: Saint or Sinner? (Paperback)
I had the misfortune of reading this book when i first got into Evita, after I had read Eva Peron, Alicia Dujone Orviz's biography. His propaganda was such that he made Evita to be this terrible woman, and on page after page describes her as a whore.I concur with the other reviewers-Harbinson did a minimal amount of research,he also made her out, like Mary Main, to be an inhuman monster, and that, the book focuses not enough on Evita herself, but, instead, splits it into two halves, the second being about Madonna and the musical. The musical and Madonna deserve a place in the epilogue, such as in Fraser and Navarro's book, not in the second half, where Evita's prophecy "I will return and I will be millions" is treated with hate and hostility. Once again, the below reviewers are valid-get the Fraser and Navarro biography. I also recommend the Orviz biography, which I had read before this. Both works are far more balanced than this piece of trash.
